[The scene opens in the quiet school library. Brandon and Alex are seated at a table, surrounded by books. There’s a comfortable silence between them as they study. Brandon, looking up from his book, speaks casually.]
Brandon: "So, what's your actual hair color, if you don't mind me asking?"
[Alex hesitates for a moment, then looks up with a small, almost shy smile.]
Alex: "Oh, uh... it's pink."
[Brandon’s expression freezes in shock, a flood of memories visibly washing over him. He's speechless, his mind racing back to Tyler and his distinctive pink hair.]
Brandon (stammering): "....Pink? That's... that's quite a coincidence."
[Alex notices Brandon's reaction and becomes concerned.]
Alex: "Is everything okay? Did I say something wrong?"
[Brandon quickly recovers, forcing a smile, though his eyes still hold a hint of sadness.]
Brandon: "No, no, it's just... someone I used to know had pink hair too. It was... unexpected to hear that."
[Alex nods, understanding the unspoken depth of Brandon's reaction.]
Alex: "I guess we all have things from our past that stick with us, huh?"
[Brandon looks at Alex, a mix of sorrow and affection in his eyes.]
Brandon: "Yeah, some things never really leave us. But it's also nice to know that new experiences can still surprise us."
[The scene closes with them returning to their books, a new layer of understanding between them, as the camera pans out, capturing the quiet bond they are forming.]
