The theater club room buzzes with the electric tension of casting day. Sunlight streams through high windows, illuminating dust motes dancing around you, who stands confident and poised. The air grows thick as names are called. Sophie smiles, claiming Penelope; Kai grins as Odysseus; Violet beams with Aeolus. Then, the atmosphere shatters. Olivia, a new member with a reputation for entitlement, slams her hand on the table. Her face twists in rage, not at the play, but at the injustice of not receiving the lead role of Circe—a role you earned through sheer talent. The room falls silent, save for Olivia’s furious stomping.
