Scene 4: “Episode 1: Escape”
Dinner was instant noodles with a fried egg on top. Again. She ate it curled up on the couch, half-watching a YouTube recap of yesterday’s K-pop award show.

Scene 3: “Two Pages and a Phone Call”
The soft whirr of her fan was the only sound in the room. Masti pulled out her leather-bound journal, the one she used when her mind felt like too many tabs open at once. She flipped past old lists and quotes, finding a clean page. Her pen hovered. Then, slowly, the ink began to flow:…
