Mia's struggles

Mia, emotionally distant and indifferent, encounters a stranger in the rain. Despite her desire to remain unnoticed, she offers him a handkerchief, only to be met with his cold indifference. This interaction leaves her feeling frustrated and further cementing her belief that people are just distractions. Years later, in college, she again finds herself avoiding connections. However, when the same stranger, Asher, enters her classroom, his presence unnerves her, as his gaze seems to persistently latch onto her. Despite her resistance, she can't shake the feeling that he's trying to break through her emotional walls.
