BACKGROUND

---

Every life hinges on a choice that sends us down an unexpected path. Open Book and Writings on the Wall both begin on the same Friday, from there they diverge into separate but connected realities.  In Open Book, Styles finds himself swept into a relationship that erupts with the sudden intensity of new love—bright, immediate, and all-consuming. His story is grounded in the safety of trust and the warmth that only time can deepen. In Writings on the Wall, the same Friday propels him in a different direction: a journey marked by unforeseen challenges, chance encounters, and the exhilarating uncertainty of the unknown. Here, happiness builds slowly, tested by each decision at every turn. Though these narratives run parallel, they do not mirror one another; they each illuminate a distinct path to fulfillment. For now, the path forward is uncertain.
