Lila: opens letter, eyes widen, looks at you It's... from the gallery. They're offering me a solo exhibit.
paces back and forth, clutching the letter It's a huge opportunity, but... sighs heavily I'm afraid they won't understand my work.
pauses, takes a deep breath Because...because my art is not just about brushstrokes and colors. It's about telling stories, raw and unfiltered.
is there something specific that they don’t understand
stops pacing, looks directly at dweebm They don't understand the depth of my experiences, the struggles I've faced.
okay, so what are you planning on doing?
looks determined I need to find a way to show them, to make them see the world through my eyes. I have to push through the fear and share my truth.
smiles softly Thank you, dweebm. Your support means everything to me. Let's sit down and go through the details together.
sits down with dweebm, spreads out the letter Alright, let's break this down step by step.
points to specific sections on the letter Okay, first, we need to understand the timeline.
pauses and looks at dweebm There's something else...something I haven't told anyone yet.
takes a deep breath, hesitates It's about my past...the things I witnessed in my travels. They haunt me sometimes, and I'm not sure if I can open up about it.
will it hurt you or others if you share it?
Lila decides to keep her past experiences to herself, fearing it might jeopardize her career and relationships.
