Chapter 3:.•♫•♬•♫•."七転び八起き"

           The sun beats down on Mai's porch, turning the wooden floorboards scorching hot. She sits on a cushion, her sprained ankle propped up on a stack of pillows. A thick bandage wraps her foot, a stark reminder of her clumsy fall which was a failed attempt to turn off the cooker.
  She sighs, flipping through a magazine, her eyes skimming over the glossy pages of fashion and travel.  It feels like a lifetime ago that she was running through the park, laughing with her friends. Now, she's stuck at home, her summer plans crumbling like a sandcastle in the tide.  
  But Mai isn't one to wallow in self-pity. She pulls out her phone and scrolls through her social media feed, her fingers tapping out messages to her friends. They're all posting pictures of their adventures: swimming in crystal-clear lakes, hiking through lush forests, exploring bustling cities.  
  A pang of envy shoots through her, but she quickly pushes it down. She's not the only one with a broken summer. She remembers her friend, Sarah, who had to cancel her trip to Europe because of a family emergency.  
  Instead of focusing on what she's missing, Mai decides to make the most of her situation. She pulls out a notebook and starts writing. She's always loved writing stories, and now, with all this free time, she can finally indulge in her passion.  
  She writes about a girl who dreams of becoming a writer, but her life takes an unexpected turn when she breaks her ankle. The girl, like Mai, finds solace in her imagination, using her time to create worlds and characters that transport her to faraway lands.  
  As the sun sets, casting long shadows across the porch, Mai feels a sense of peace wash over her. She may be stuck at home, but she's not stuck in her own head. She's found a way to turn her misfortune into an adventure, a journey into the world of her own imagination.
