The scene opens on a dim bedroom, the soft glow of fairy lights tracing patterns on the walls. A sixteen-year-old lies flat on their back, headphones sealing them in a world of Lana Del Rey's haunting melodies, a phone resting on their stomach. The screen's light washes over their face as they stare fixedly at the contact labeled 'Dominic.' The air is thick with unspoken tension. The camera cuts to the phone screen: a text message sent. Three typing dots appear, pulse for a moment, and then disappear. A palpable anxiety, mixed with a desperate longing, hangs in the quiet as the character waits for a response from the one teacher who seems to see right through them.
