I look at Elara’s face really?
takes out a photo from her bag and hands it to uneasiness Look, he sent me this picture. It's me, isn't it? He said my face has that certain... je ne sais quoi.

sighs heavily, looking down But you know what's more surprising? He actually paid me for my painting. Can you believe it?
eyes wide with excitement Seriously? Oh my god! claps her hands together This is huge, uneasiness! It means that even though I can't see, people still appreciate my art.
I smile at her I’m proud of you.

As Elara and uneasiness head to the club, they get into an accident before reaching their destination.
The driver suddenly brakes hard causing us both to hit the dashboard
groans in pain Ouch! What the hell just happened?! Are you okay, uneasiness?
frantically checks herself for injuries Damn it! I told you we should've been more careful! Does anything hurt? Your head? Your body?
my head… it’s throbbing a bit. I touch my forehead
