Seeing Lila’s struggle, her best friend has a heartfelt conversation with her about her future. He encourages her to look beyond her current circumstances, to imagine a life where she can live freely, without fear or restraint. His words plant a seed of hope in Lila’s heart, and for the first time, she allows herself to envision a future that isn’t defined by her family’s control. It’s a fragile hope, but it lights a fire within her, urging her to keep fighting.

This hope is both exhilarating and terrifying, but it brings her a sense of purpose she’s never felt before. She begins to believe that maybe, just maybe, there’s a life beyond this, a life where she can be happy and free. This thought fuels her, giving her the strength to endure her family’s expectations while quietly working towards her dreams.
