Author's Note:
I'm just adding this quick note to clear up any confusion that the reader of this story might have or as they get into this story. Whenever you see a bolded location, it signals the beginning of a new segment. In each segment, it is showing the perspective of a different group of characters. This story resolves around the main story of Jack and Stress and how their friends played a role in their getting together. Some parts of the story might not make any sense, but it will if you look at the picture as a whole.
