A tagging system will be set up for convenience as soon as possible, so bear with us a bit.

This was 5AM, this was a really hard scene for me because it’s so much of the rooting interest as them for a couple is based on a scene, and it reminds me also of that scene in West Side Story where they’re like pretending to be in the wedding shop, it sort of channels that in a way.
And Rebel Without a Cause as well.
