In late 2024, Emma Rose was a 22-year-old Berklee dropout posting melancholic piano covers from her Brooklyn apartment. Apollo New, a 24-year-old producer and multi-instrumentalist from London, was anonymously releasing lo-fi beat tapes under a cryptic symbol. Their worlds collided on a Discord server dedicated to "vintage synth restoration."

Apollo waits for her return. And when Emma comes back, something has changed. Wrapped around her wrist is a red string — a charm bestowed by an old witch she encountered by a waterfall in the Brazilian jungle. The crone offered Emma three wishes: a good husband, a healthy child, and a mysterious third thing. But there was a rule: the red string must never be cut. It must fall off naturally for the wishes to take effect. Apollo, ever the pragmatist and perhaps a little too full of himself, scoffs at the superstition. “Emma, with me… all three of your wishes will come true,” he declares before snapping the string from her wrist.

While Emma is in Brazil, the fairy tale takes a sharp and supernatural turn. Ignoring local warnings, she travels to a secluded lagoon where she encounters a mysterious old witch. There, Emma is granted three wishes. To seal the pact, the witch ties a red string around her wrist, warning her that her wishes will come true only if the string remains intact and is allowed to fall off naturally. She returns to New York with this literal and metaphorical string of fate tied around her. Upon her return, Emma and Apollo's romance resumes immediately. However, she tells him about her encounter and the nature of the string. In his disbelief, Apollo dismisses the witch’s story as superstition and does something fateful: he cuts the string. Almost immediately, his own wishes seem to come true. He and Emma marry, and soon after, they have a son, whom they name Brian. The story appears to be a fairy tale once more, but the nightmare is just beginning. Apollo's Latest Projects Apollo waits for her return
