In their dorm, Emmett's secret lactation symptom is discovered by roommate Ronan, who instead of recoiling, covers for him and accompanies him to appointments. Their friendship deepens into romance as Emmett films a documentary about Ronan for a campus competition. Classmate Parker secretly captures footage of Emmett's condition and threatens to leak it unless he withdraws. With Ronan's support, Emmett preserves evidence, files a formal complaint, and wins the award. Ronan accepts a Seattle fellowship, and the two commit to long distance—until Emmett learns Ronan has loved him since a rainy encounter two years earlier.
