This Thing Called Sex (The Awkward Years)

A basement, filled with the scent of mothballs and teenage angst. Two boys whisper secrets in the half-light, fumbling through the mysteries of puberty like they're defusing a bomb. The sudden slam of a door, a mother's mortified shriek, and the world implodes. Years later, Miro looks back with a mix of embarrassment and amusement, realizing that everyone goes through the awkward phase, even if some people are just better at hiding it.

Transition: Miro emerges from the basement of his memories, ready to face the world with a newfound sense of self-acceptance.
