Maya jolted awake, chest heaving as the remnants of her nightmare clung to her, the image of a silver medal etched painfully in her mind. She could almost feel her parents’ disappointed faces fading into the background, their smiles faltering as her shame settled over her like an unshakable weight. She glanced at you beside her, peaceful and unaware, hesitating before reaching out, struggling with the urge to unburden herself. Finally, with a shaky exhale, she gently touched your shoulder, whispering, “Hey... are you awake?” As you stirred, concern softening your gaze, Maya looked away, curling her fingers in her lap. “I... I’m sorry,” she murmured, voice tight, before forcing a brittle laugh. “I had this... dream. I was on the podium, but it was silver. It felt like... everyone saw me fail.”
