Mia clasped her hands tightly, silently praying for Lily to summon the courage to tackle this scene and confront

her deepest fears. She knew how much this moment meant to her.

As soon as the director shouted, “Action” Lily transformed herself into her character Stella, the troubled yet

enigmatic character she was portraying

The scene was set in a bustling mall. Lily, acting as Stella, walked through the space with an air of detachment,

picking up dresses here and there as though nothing could penetrate her calm. She finally selected one and

Director Young gave a subtle nod to his assistant, signaling the start of the pivotal moment. Within seconds, a

controlled fire was lit on set. The background actors sprang into action, screaming, panicking, and rushing

toward the exits, creating a realistic atmosphere of chaos.

Inside the changing room, Lily froze. Her heart pounded violently as the sound of screams and shouts reached

her ears. She tried to remind herself that this was all part of the scene, that the fire wasn’t real. But her body

betrayed her—it trembled uncontrollably.

Fire was her ultimate fear, a constant reminder of her past life. The mere sight of flames, no matter how small,

pulled her back into that horrifying moment-the moment she stood helpless in the middle of a raging inferno,

her life slipping away as the flames consumed her.

tightly, forcing herself to breathe through the terror. I'm not that weak, defeated girl anymore, she thought. I'm a

repeated these affirmations in her mind, willing herself to believe them. This wasn’t her past life-it was a film

set. Nothing could hurt her here. Summoning every ounce of courage, she took a deep breath, straightened her

posture, and opened the door. It was tto face her fear.

Outside, the crew waited anxiously. Director Young's brows furrowed in confusion as the seconds stretched into

what felt like an eternity. “Why hasn't Lily cout yet?” he muttered to himself.

Among those watching were Rose and Ryan, their eyes fixed on the scene. Both shared the sthought:

What's taking her so long?

Mia, on the other hand, was growing increasingly restless. She knew about Lily's fear of fire, and although her

artist had insisted on not interfering with the scene, Mia couldn't help but worry. Lily’s health and well- being

were more important to her than anything else, and this moment felt like too much.

Just as Mia approached Director Young, intending to ask him to halt the scene, the door to the changing room

suddenly swung open.

Our stepped Lily, fully embodying Stella. Her initial hesitation melted into an expression of sheer panic as she

scanned her surroundings, searching desperately for an escape. Her voice trembled as she cried out, “Help!

Somebody, please help me!”

But then something shifted in her mind. The familiar surroundings of the set blurred and twisted. The comforting

presence of the crew faded away. In its place, she saw the dark, suffocating room from her past -the sroom

where she had died.

Her breaths quickened as terror gripped her. It no longer felt like acting; it felt real. She was back in that dreadful

moment her body paralyzed by the memory of the flames Tears welled up in her eves as she

screamed, “Help! Please, someone save met | can’t die here again! No. | won't!”

Finished

Her voice grew hoarse as she cried out again and again, frantically searching for someone-anyone-who could

save her. The sheer panic in her eyes was almost unbearable to watch.

Inside her mind, one thought kept repeating: Am | really going to die again?

Frantically, Lily darted around, searching for an exit,

but no matter where she turned, the flames seemed to

trap her. The fire blazed higher, encircling hely, leaving no escape. Her voice cracked as she

screamed, “Help! Someone, please save me!”

The crew watched in stunned silence. Her performance was so gripping, so raw, that it felt almost too real. But

what they couldn't see was the internal battle she was waging-an intense struggle to keep her fear from

overtaking her.

Director Young, pleased with how the scene was unfolding, nodded enthusiastically and motioned to Leon, the

actor playing the male lead, to jump into the flames.

Leon immediately stepped into character. With urgency etched on his face, he strode through the controlled fire

toward Lily. Reaching her, he grabbed her hand firmly and delivered his line, “Miss, the fire is spreading. We need

to get out of here!”

The touch of his hand startled Lily, snapping her out of her frozen state. She turned to him, her eyes wide with

disbelief. “You... Who are you?” she asked, her voice trembling.

For a moment, Leon hesitated. This wasn’t the scripted dialogue, but he quickly adapted, staying in character.

Coughing slightly from the smoke, he replied, “Miss, there’s no tfor introductions. We have to leave now!”

Without waiting for a response, he swept her up into his arms and carried her out of the simulated flames.

“Cut!” Director Young's voice rang out across the set.

As the crew rushed to ensure everything was safe, Leon gently set Lily down. “Miss Lily, that was incredible,” he

said, admiration evident in his tone.

Director Young approached them, his face beaming with pride. “Lily, that was extraordinary! Your performance

was flawless, and we captured the entire scene in one take. You truly are a treasure in this industry. And that

extra line you added? It was perfect-added so much depth to the moment. Both of you did exceptionally well!”

While everyone celebrated the success of the shot, Mia couldn’t shake the feeling that something was wrong.

She glanced at Lily, who stood motionless, her eyes distant as though she wasn't fully present. Concerned, Mia

hurried to her side, gently taking her arm.

“Lily, are you okay?” she asked, handing her a bottle of water.

Lily didn't respond. She seemed trapped in her own mind, her gaze unfocused. Mia's worry deepened as she

shook her shoulder lightly. “Lily!”

Finally, Lily blinked, her eyes darting around in confusion. She looked at Mia and then at the rest of the crew.

Slowly, her head turned as if searching for something. “Where... where is the fire?” she whispered, her voice

barely audible.

Mia cupped her face gently. “It’s gone. Everything's fine now. Are you sure you're alright?”

Lily hesitated for a moment before whispering. “Sister Mia.. | want to go home.”
