The clip saw the girl looking out of her window at the rows of houses in the distance. Now, we know what she was looking at – the bedroom of new character Synthwave Boy.

The new character is seen wearing a purple beanie and headphones, typing away at his computer with his pet dog snoozing away on the window ledge.
