When people are kids, sometimes very small things can feel like major events. Sometimes there are peers who feel way more important than they really are. Your character, for one reason or another, finds themselves going back to where they grew up. It does not take long for them to run into one of these figures. How does your character react seeing someone they once saw as important, especially after all they have gone through to get where they are today?
