DELUSIONAL

The screen glitches.

Unexpected sounds and flashbacks start to play on screen.

Then suddenly, it went quiet and the screen glitches to a woman named Ysaelle, who’s sitting and breathing heavily in a room filled with mirrors.

Ysaelle is a professional dancer in the Philippines. She is very passionate about her dancing skills. However, she's drained from all the excessive training, and she is also struggling to perfect her musicality.

After quite some time, Ysaelle starts to move with uncanny movements as if she's performing. She flicks her head up, down, side to side, and then looks directly to the camera. When she looks up, the setting transitions into a plain room. She starts to dance again with uncanny movements as if she is performing on stage. A voice-over of Ysaelle plays, she starts praising herself as a creative athlete. But she suddenly resents herself for not being perfect, especially her musicality is a bit off on everything. So she tries to hit the utmost sound layers, such as the bass, snare, and guitar but she misses it every time. The crowd starts booing her, and she resents herself even more to the point she gets crazier with her uncanny movements. Until she sees a television, and it flickered into a news channel. She starts to hear the news about the pandemic, election, and the people's voices and opinions. Ysaelle starts screaming and hurting by all of the things she hears as if she becomes more aware of her surroundings. After quite some time, she starts to dance again as if she applies her improvements to her dancing skills. Then suddenly, there is a woman screaming behind, so Ysaelle stops and runs as fast as she can to help the screaming woman. While running, three gunshots were already firing at her, and she starts to die slowly.
