Character Description

To cope with the lingering trauma of her childhood, Brinn has embraced a self-destructive lifestyle, seeking escape in wild nights of partying and fleeting connections with strangers. Her default approach to men has always been seduction—a protective mechanism that shields her vulnerability but leaves her feeling hollow. As her carefully constructed facade begins to crumble, Brinn is forced to confront the painful truths she’s spent years avoiding. For the first time, she encounters a man who genuinely cares for her, yet she finds herself paralyzed, unsure how to respond.

Scene Context
