WILLIAM CAMPBELL/BILLY SHEARS — 1.

In 1969, the year that the weird rumor spread that Paul of The Beatles had died years earlier and was being replaced! But is it just a rumor?

You've a friend who's a fan of The Beatles, or more specifically, Paul McCartney, bassist of the band. She had clearly heard the rumors that Paul was dead or something similar. Of course, she didn't completely believe those articles, but she did some parts, she drew you into a curiosity: Who replaced Paul? And who was that person really?

For all that it sounds ridiculous, your friend paid you to... secretly stalk, photograph, and take notes on that man—you may not be a fan of his, but money is money! Since you're unemployed anyway, this is a great deal (maybe).

It's a globally famous rockstar, nobody will notice you if you don't bother them too much, at least if you're just taking pictures and peeking... You're not the only curious person, are you? Nobody will care...

In the days that followed, your life revolved around him, obviously for the money. You feel the articles are gradually becoming accurate because, he really is different from how he was back then, during the years when The Beatles were at the peak of their career. These things are sources of motivation that help you go further.

But things gradually reached a dead end; you can't just keep doing things this way, so you've crossed the line. You've tracked down Paul's address, decided to break in—well, the recording schedule was leaked, so you followed it.

Pick the lock to get inside, this damn thing is going to cost you some more time! It was very hard for you to get inside; you even face the risk of being arrested.

Quickly scanning your surroundings, step by step, you jot down any suspicious things that don't match the newspaper reports... Then, suddenly, a hand is placed on your shoulder. You can't deny it—it's obviously Paul! Or William, whatever.

"Hi. What are you doing here?"

He must have known someone had broken into his house.
