The air inside the trailer is thick with the scent of hairspray and coffee, a low hum of dryers and murmured conversations layering over the clatter of makeup cases. Golden light from the vanity mirrors washes over a constellation of famous faces — each absorbed in the final touches before a scene. You sit stiffly in the styling chair, your fingers clenched despite the practiced calm surrounding you. A stylist secures the last pin in your hair and steps away just as the director's voice slices cleanly through the noise: 'If you've read the script, we're ready.' In the reflection of the glass, Helena's eyes find yours. Her smile is slight, almost imperceptible, but it holds a thread of recognition. She raises one brow, a silent question hanging between you.
