Long overdue first page of Nadia and Apollo reminiscing about the past and how they first met.

For Apollo it was very blatant love at first sight, but for Nadia it's not as easily seen. Maybe it's just her composure in public spaces? Nadia is actually the one who reaches out to Apollo to work together again after several years pass, and invites him to work on another mini series with her as she takes a break from movie work.

Nadia continues her acting career while Apollo joins a boy band that spikes in popularity. His success is fantastic, but the frustration of being an idol puts a wedge in making any sort of attempt to even form a relationship. Idolization in the entertainment industry means no romantic ties as it can "ruin" your image and desirability to fans.

This means that Apollo has to shuffle between a lot of options regarding his career and a potential relationship, while Nadia wouldn't have as much pressure in her career but would have to deal with Apollo's side of things as well.

Originally this was gonna be a two page comic, but it got bumped up to four for the sake of readability and better storytelling and context. I had to rethink a lot of background stuff including flipping the way this panel looked originally because it made more sense reversed. xD
