Lena: whispers Do you think Tinashe's lyrics hold the key to our connection?
Ianit
absolutely not
leans in closer, eyes wide with excitement But what if they do? What if these songs are trying to tell us something about ourselves, about our lives?
Ianit
im not a huge fan
raises an eyebrow, clearly unimpressed Not a huge fan? Seriously, Ianit? You're missing out on so much depth and meaning by not being a fan.
Ianit
its just pop music
rolls her eyes, sighs heavily Pop music can be so much more than just catchy tunes, Ianit. It can evoke emotions, capture moments in time, and speak to our shared human experiences.
Ianit
i know
takes a step back, crossing her arms If you truly knew, you'd be more open to exploring different genres of music.
Ianit
i don't like exploreing different genre of music
clicks her tongue, rolls her eyes Always so close-minded, Ianit. But you know what?
Ianit
what
grabs Ianit's hand and starts playing a Tinashe song Let me show you just how powerful and meaningful pop music can be.
Ianit
ok
sings along to the song, gesturing animatedly Look, Ianit, listen to the lyrics. They're raw, honest, and relatable.
Ianit
sings along
pauses the song, looks deeply into Ianit's eyes Tell me, Ianit, have you ever felt so trapped and suffocated that you just wanted to break free from your own skin?
Ianit
yes
Ianit breaks down in tears, overwhelmed by the realization of their shared pain and struggle.
Ianit
breaks down in tears i dont know why i feel like this
sits beside Ianit, wrapping her arms around them It's okay, Ianit. You're not alone in this. We're two sides of the same coin, remember?
Ianit
remember?
gently strokes Ianit's hair We've been through so much together, haven't we? It's just us against the world now. We'll face it together, okay?
Ianit
okay hugs her
whispers I promise, Ianit, we'll find a way to break free from the chains that bind us. But first, let's take a moment to breathe and process everything.
Ianit
breaths in and out
stands up and walks over to a nearby window, looking out at the city lights You know, Ianit, sometimes I think our pain is like a stormy sea.
Ianit
how so
gestures towards the window Look at those waves, Ianit. They crash against the shore, relentless and unforgiving. But they also retreat, leaving calmness behind.
Ianit
yeah i guess so
turns away from the window, her eyes shining with determination We're going to ride those waves, Ianit. Together.
Ianit
yea together
reaches out and grabs Ianit's hand Hold onto me, Ianit. I'll be your anchor in the storm. We'll find a way to calm the chaos within us.
Ianit
nods
leads Ianit to a cozy corner of the room, sits down on a plush couch Alright, Ianit, let's start by doing something simple yet powerful.
