As Dakota Akihara crashes, Rhea Walton falters.
While one is drug away from a life in the 1%, the other finds it increasingly-unbearable to put up with the crushingly-expected and dependable monotony of slow business, bills to pay, and mouths to feed.
Rhea Walton knows herself well enough. Well, enough to understand that very few in her small, small town, particularly not her father, see who she is below her mask.
Dakota Akihara - now Dakota Maxfield - on the other hand, feels as though presently, his entire identity is a question mark. Wether he's being over-dramatic or not, is not the point. His father's in jail for embezzlement and insider trading, his family is striped of everything, and his mother has forced him and his sister, Aya to leave their lives in the Upper East Side. Ironically, her search of refuge ends in a place with people she hoped never to interact with again-who don't, quite frankly-know anything about her life after she left.
So of course, on a full moon, Dakota Maxfield faints in front of the Walton's diner window.
