- You know what I mean. Don’t bring up... unnecessary topics. Focus on your studies.
- Горка: 4
- Mei leaves without waiting for a response. Ethan stares at his sketchbook, closes it, and sighs.

- Ethan sits alone at the library, sketching in his notebook. Liam approaches and talks to him.
- What are you working on now?
- Nothing. Just doodles.
- Ethan, you can’t keep hiding. You’re talented, and you shouldn’t be ashamed of who you are.
- ...

- It’s not that easy. My mom... my family... they’d never accept it.

- I’m scared she’ll never understand.
- Горка: 13
- Maybe she won’t. But strength doesn’t come from others’ acceptance—it comes from your own.
