It's a bar chord for Liam Ramirez whether Leo Quintero's shift from hater to fan is genuine or conceals darker motives─hard to play, so he simply goes along with it.

A-Side: from rival bands in high school, Liam as a newfound vocalist of the reigning band 'Euphony' versus Leo, the charismatic bassist of Rhythmix, the always second best─seemingly, Leo's main issue.

On the B-Side, they become college buddies. All efforts and initiatives are from ex-basher Leo, and, at his request, join the university's official band.

Chorus part: bond deepens, so does a feeling. One confused. One afraid. Both in denial. No plans to reveal.

Until bridge part─Grace, the drummer... drum rolls... She outs Liam to Leo without permission, solely for personal gain. Rumors say Liam's gay and milking his 'straight as guitar strings' best friend Leo. That pathetic, homophobic adlibs disharmonized the perfect melody.

Then, something comes up, and they attempt to arreglo the notes of a messed-up love song. Will it flop or bop?

The Multiverse is fragile. Even the slightest shift in the fabric of time, even the slightest wrinkle, could cause everything to disappear. If one universe collapses, so do many more. But as long as most of them are healthy, the Protector is alive. The Multiverse depends on Balance. But where no Balance exists, no Protector can live. Just how many universes did the anti-void take with it when it collapsed? Certainly enough, because the Protector seems to be dying. How ironic is it, that the Protector must ask the Destroyer to save the Multiverse? [note: I do NOT own the cover image, I just edited it.
