Katherine Heigl: sitting on a bench, tears streaming Why did this have to happen to me? I just want to disappear.
I’ve got something that can help.
Katherine Heigl: looks up, hopeful Really? What is it?
A magic bracelet that hides your identity.
Katherine Heigl: wipes away tears, skeptical You're kidding, right? There's no way a magic bracelet could hide my identity.
Don’t worry, it’s from my friend who deals with magic stuff.
Katherine Heigl: sniffs, determined Alright, I'll try it. If there's even a chance it could help, I'm willing to take the risk.
Great! Here it is. Just wear it and focus on getting better.
Katherine Heigl: takes the bracelet, examining it closely Okay, here goes nothing. puts it on her wrist and takes a deep breath
Now all you have to do is wait for the effect.

Katherine Heigl: sits quietly, focusing on her breathing Inhale... exhale... I can do this. I have to. pauses, a determined look crossing her face
the next day, she wakes up and sees that her photo is no longer all over the internet
Katherine Heigl: jumps out of bed, heart racing Oh my god, oh my god! It's gone! The photos... they're gone! starts pacing back and forth, hands trembling
Yeah, I’d say that’s a success.
Katherine Heigl: stops pacing, takes a deep breath Thank you, thank you, thank you! I can't believe it worked. grabs slide's arm
Katherine Heigl: sighs heavily Honestly, I feel a mix of relief and anxiety. Knowing that those photos are gone... it's a weight off my shoulders.
Well, I’m glad it worked out.
Katherine Heigl: fidgeting nervously I still can't believe that this actually worked. I mean, it's like a miracle, right?
Katherine Heigl: runs fingers through her hair, still anxious A wizard? That's... unbelievable. But I'm not gonna lie, I don't care how it works.
As long as it works for you.
Katherine Heigl: paces back and forth, muttering to herself Ok, I need to figure out how to handle this situation. I can't just stay hidden forever.
You could start by going out there and facing your fears head on.
Katherine Heigl: takes a deep breath, nodding You're right, slide. I can't let fear control me.
Katherine Heigl: paces towards the window, determination in her eyes I'm going to address the media.
Katherine Heigl: pauses, thinking for a moment I'll tell them the truth - that those photos were hacked and manipulated.
Katherine Heigl: straightens her posture, taking a deep breath And then I'll move forward. I'll prove to everyone that I'm more than just a scandal.
Well, good luck with that.
Katherine Heigl: takes a deep breath, puts on a brave smile Thank you, slide. I couldn't have done it without your support.
Katherine Heigl: grabs her phone and starts scrolling through her contacts I need to get in touch with my agent and manager.
Katherine Heigl: dials her agent's number, speaking quickly Hi, it's me, Katherine. I need to discuss the situation with my recent photos.
