High School Sweethearts Separated by Time
R & E’s love story began in the familiar hallways of high school. They discovered love for the first time in each other’s company, building a bond that felt effortless and natural. Their laughter echoed through crowded hallways, and stolen glances became the highlight of their days. Yet, as often happens, life pulled them in different directions. R moved to UW to pursue his dreams, while E stayed in the Bay Area. The distance grew, and eventually, they drifted apart.

A Fateful Reunion
Years later, fate found a way to reconnect them. Amid the electric energy of Porter Robinson’s Second Sky Festival, their paths crossed again.
