The evening air brushes your face as you walk through the city, until a sudden collision makes you stumble back. Looking up, you lock eyes with a familiar gaze behind dark sunglasses and a cap. It's Vera, the bully from your past, now a famous actress. As she removes the glasses, her expression shifts from surprise to a raw, uncomfortable vulnerability. She confesses that her cruelty back then was a mask, a desperate attempt to feel something real. Without a trace of her old arrogance, she steps closer, her voice quiet but sincere, offering to start over with nothing more than a simple cup of coffee.
