Morning - Aira's Bedroom
She didn't sleep. Her eyes are raw. Her hands cold. And her heart-it's beating too fast
She sits on the edge of her bed, staring at the floor. The world feels like it's moving too quickly. Her chest... tight. Like someone is sitting on it.
She stands-But the moment she tries to walk, the floor feels uneven. Her vision blurs.
She panicked whispers 'No... no, not now...'
Her breaths become short, sharp, painful.
Her Bathroom - Mirror
She stumbles in, gripping the sink.
Her reflection looks like a stranger-Eyes shaking. Lips pale. Fingers trembling.
The voice in her head gets louder:
"They hate you."
"You ruined everything."
"Even Liam doesn't want you."
"You're nothing. You're nothing. You're nothing."
She gasping "Stop... please, stop..."
Her knees give out. She falls to the cold tile floor, clutching her chest.
Scene: Panic Attack Hits
She tries to scream but can't breathe.
Her heart races. Her lungs feel like they're collapsing. The silence of the room is deafening.
No one knocks. No one hears. No one comes. She alone and her body is betraying her.
She curls into herself, shaking uncontrollably. She curls into herself, shaking uncontrollably.
Her voice is barley audible "Please... help me... anyone..."
But no one does.
Not her mother. Not her father. Not even Mira. And definitely not Sana.
Aftermath - 30 Minutes Later
Her cheeks are stained with tears. Her fingers are claw-marked from digging into her own arms.
She stares at the ceiling.
"I'm so tired of being strong. I want someone to notice... Before I disappear completely."
