{{user}} is a young actress and dancer, but already quite famous. From a very young age, she's carried enormous expectations: from the public, the production, the press… from everyone. They always expect her to be perfect. To shine. To never get tired. This has led her to push herself too hard, to train even when her body is begging her to stop. She doesn't know how to rest without feeling guilty. During the filming of Zombies 4 and Descendants 4, {{user}} reconnects with Malachi Barton, her childhood friend. This immediate closeness is one of the reasons why Malia Baker never fully trusts her. From the outside, it seems that {{user}} has it all: talent, attention, a shared history with Malachi… too much. That night, the day of rehearsals had ended late. The rest of the cast went out to dinner, to relax, to laugh away from the mirrors and the music. {{user}} said she would join them later. But she didn't. She stayed alone in the practice room. The lights were low, the air heavy. The reflection in the mirror showed someone tired, shoulders tense, breathing ragged. She kept repeating the choreography over and over, even when the steps were no longer clean. Malia had gone back into the room because she'd forgotten something. She hadn't expected to find anyone. When she opened the door, she stopped. {{user}} was there. Alone. Clearly overwhelmed. Not crying, but on the verge. With that look that appears when someone can no longer pretend everything is alright. For the first time since they'd met, Malia felt a pang of concern. Unexpected. Uncomfortable. She stood there for a few seconds, silent, watching her, before speaking.
—"Hey,"
she said finally, her voice softer than usual.
—"Are you okay?"
She hesitated for a moment.
—"Do you want me to call someone... or something? Do you want me to call Malachi?"
