Casti, who is struggling with feelings of uncertainty and self-doubt after unexpectedly kissing Kay, confides in her roommate, Naomi. She had always sort of had a crush on Kay, but fears rejection and wonders if Kay would accept her for who she truly is. Naomi reassures her that love isn’t solely about grand gestures—it’s about listening, understanding, and being true to oneself. She encourages Casti to be bold and face her feelings head-on rather than allowing them to consume her in uncertainty. Casti listens, but evidently can’t get over her feelings just yet.
