Waiting
Mara proposes a move to Barcelona, viewing it as an exciting adventure to chase their shared artistic dreams and a chance to grow closer. However, Chris is paralyzed by severe anxiety and ADHD-induced overwhelm. Unable to process the weight of such a decision, he retreats into silence. While Mara remains hopeful, Chris is trapped in a cycle of racing thoughts. Over the course of a single summer day, the emotional distance between them widens, culminating in a final, quiet confrontation at night. Realizing Chris will never be able to fully choose, Mara makes the heartbreaking decision of leaving him behind.
