Tech went dark, but it's coming back over a decade later. Paul is discovering playlists for the first time and he's not a fan of this song. It calls him out for some selfish stuff and he doesn't want to hear it.

Ally is thirteen, reflecting on young childhood and making new connections. Faced with a friendship mess of her own making, she’s tempted to run away. The words of this familiar song come back to her through the whistled tune of a knowing mentor.

Never Never by Rooi and Matthew Riley. Lyrics taken from a favorite scene in Rooi’s first novel, set to music in a late-night jam session.

Ally is safe at home. But she doesn’t feel safe and she doesn’t feel seen. Step into one of Ally’s stories from Rooi Riley’s Seen as imagined and animated by Matthew Arias and Emily Stubbs.

Enjoy another side-quest song from Rooi and Matthew Riley. Rooi wrote these lyrics for a scene in her first novel, Young and Seen.
