The second I spotted the photo and read the quest details, it hit me like a punch to the gut—this Tessa was. Memories rushed in from way back, school days, when I was totally obsessed with Idol. 

That Tessa wasn't a huge star or some amazing singer, but to me, she was the coolest member of her group. No big explanation for it—I just liked her energy. She had this fancy, high-class look that fit the word "luxury" like a glove.

Back then, Tessa's girl group kept going for years, putting out songs and dancing their hearts out, but they never made it big. Success stayed out of reach, and when their contract ran out, the group split up. Her bandmates moved on—some tried acting, others went solo—but Tessa? She walked away from the whole entertainment scene. As I got busy cramming for entrance exams and figuring out college, she slipped off my mind. I never thought I'd bump into her again like this.
