( ♪ ༘⋆ ) 𝑨𝑪𝑻𝑼𝑨𝑳𝑳𝒀 𝑹𝑶𝑴𝑨𝑵𝑻𝑰𝑪 ⸻ 𝑚𝑎𝑛𝑜𝑛 𝑏𝑎𝑛𝑛𝑒𝑟𝑚𝑎𝑛 Greta Riley Orsini should never have let herself get too comfortable. Not so much because the Dream Academy was easy - it never was - but because, after two years as the only Italian trainee in the building, she had finally carved out something that felt like home. She knew every corner of those practice rooms, every crack in the mirror she avoided looking at on bad days, every unspoken rule that kept six girls and one outsider functioning as something close to a family. She doesn't yet know that the autumn of 2024 will be the one in which everything shifts. Because when Manon Bannerman walks through those doors - quiet, sharp-eyed, carrying herself like someone who has already survived harder things than this - Greta feels the ground move in a way she can't explain. Not threat. Not rivalry. Something far more inconvenient than either. Neither of them is looking for it. Greta is too busy trying to prove she deserves her spot for the seventh time that month, and Manon is too busy learning how to exist in a place that already has its rhythms without her. But the late-night practice sessions have a way of stripping people down to what they actually are, and what they actually are, it turns out, is remarkably similar. Two girls who are a little too stubborn, a little too observant, and absolutely terrible at asking for help. 𝑀𝑎𝑛𝑜𝑛 𝐵𝑎𝑛𝑛𝑒𝑟𝑚𝑎𝑛 𝑥 𝑓𝑒𝑚 𝑜𝑐 ©-dreamIands // 2026

Not so much because she didn't like the role, but because, after the sudden breakup with her ex, she knew she would find solace either in acting or in her old childhood friend: Joseph Zada. She doesn't yet know that the summer of 2025 will be the one in which she will rediscover love. And not just for her but for both of them 𝐽𝑜𝑠𝑒𝑝ℎ 𝑍𝑎𝑑𝑎 𝑥 𝑓𝑒𝑚 𝑜𝑐 ©-priscillasdream // 2025
