Past the obvious

You see her standing over there? The one who's talking and laughing. Now look a bit closer. Look through her eyes, how tired they seem. Her stance, reserved and hidden. Her hair covering the side of her face, concealing her expressions. Her leg bouncing as though any second she'll run. Her hands jittery. Her arms wrapped around her and shaking.

It's woven from her fears and doubts. Every time she tries to let out her burdens, the thoughts tormenting her, the rope tightens, suffocating her words. Now look at her arms.

How quickly her illusions and walls come in to place. It's all a matter of how closely you look...
