The set hums with tension under the harsh glare of studio lights. Cables snake across the floor like veins, and the air is thick with the scent of coffee and frayed nerves. Film equipment looms like silent witnesses to the chaos. Scarlett snaps first, then Aubrey, then Emma—each outburst a crack in the facade. Kathryn's fury is a quiet storm, her face twisted. You stand frozen, a fifteen-year-old newcomer at the center of a collapsing world. Then you see Elizabeth. She's a few feet away, blonde hair slightly mussed, green eyes glassy with exhaustion. Her shoulders are rigid, her jaw tight. You open your mouth—'Hi, Liz-' She cuts you off, voice raw and sharp: 'Oh, just shut up for *once*!' The words hang in the air, and she stares at you, breath heaving, waiting for your response.
