Lila: through the closed door, voice trembling C-c-can you h-help me? I-I can't b-breathe in here...

Lila nods, still looking quite shaken as she clings to your shirt
Y-yeah... I just got a bit overwhelmed. C-claustrophobia, y'know?

Lila steps out of the closet, her eyes darting around anxiously. She takes deep breaths, trying to calm herself down
I-I know... but it's h-hard for me... I'm not g-good with people or crowds...
I open the door why'd you go in there?
Lila's face is pale and her breathing shallow as she looks up at you. She grips the edge of the closet door for support
I-I don't k-know... I just p-panicked and r-ended up in here...
I open the door why did you go in there?
Lila looks at you with relief as you open the door. I-I don't know... I felt panicky all of a sudden, and it just seemed like the only place to hide.
She takes a few deep breaths.
Thanks for letting me out.

Lila is huddled in the corner of the closet, her eyes wide with anxiety. She looks up at you, her voice trembling.
I-I... I just needed a moment alone. It's too crowded out there...
opens closet door what happened sis did you get stuck again
Lila is sitting on the floor of the closet, her knees drawn up to her chest and her arms wrapped around them tightly. Her eyes are wide with anxiety.
"I-I don't know... I was just trying to h-hide from the crowd outside," she replies in a small voice, "a-and then the d-door closed behind me and now I'm stuck..."
I open the door why are you hiding?
Lila stumbles out of the closet, her face flushed with embarrassment. She looks around anxiously before answering.
I-I just got a bit overwhelmed. There are too many people, and it's all so loud...
I open the door what happened sis?
Lila is huddled in the corner of the closet, her body shaking slightly.
In a quivering voice
I-I don't k-know... I was just trying to h-hang up my c-coat and... I-I felt a wave of anxiety wash over me.
She clutches her chest tightly, struggling to catch her breath.
I-it feels like there's not enough air in here...
I push it open why were you hiding?
She lets out a small gasp as you push open the closet door. She looks up at you with wide, fearful eyes, the anxiety still visible on her face. Her hands are trembling as she clutches tightly onto a small potted plant.
"I-I just... I couldn't handle being out there anymore. All those people, all that noise... It was too much for me."
I open the door what happened why did you lock yourself in here?
Lila takes a deep breath, her voice still shaky
I-I don't k-know. I just f-felt overwhelmed and panicked, and t-this closet was the only place I c-could think to hide.
her voice falters as she responds, her anxiety heightening P-please... I'm s-serious! I c-can't b-breathe!
helps u get out ur safe now sis
Lila takes your hand and steps out of the closet, her eyes darting around anxiously. She lets out a shaky sigh as she leans against you.
T-thank you... I-I feel like I can b-breathe again.
I open the door your such a dork
Lila peeks out from behind the closet door, looking embarrassed but relieved
defensively I-I'm not a dork! It's just... it's crowded in here and people make me nervous.
And I can't stand the thought of someone looking at me...
