Rory's childhood crush, Madison, suddenly moves into the apartment across from him. It's been 15 years since homophobia and bullying drove them apart; when their mutual friend flakes on dinner at Rory's place and leaves them stuck alone with each other, things get real awkward. 

When memory comes knocking, do you bury it deeper, or do you let it in? Both Madison and Rory must find the courage to open the door, and face what they left behind.

Gameplay: Two possible endings, choices matter to varying degrees (some choices REALLY matter). Replay or playback encouraged. Roughly 4500 words.

Content warnings:  transphobia, homophobia, some good ol' cursing, two grown men doing their best and still being terrible
