At 5 pm.. Lily arrived at the audition venue for the role of the psycho sister. Sister Mia had informed her earlier that she might be late, so Lily decided to go in alone.

The atmosphere inside the hall was heavy with tension. The room was filled with several familiar and popular faces. Some appeared visibly anxious, while others radiated confidence, certain the role was theirs

to claim.

Lily had dressed thoughtfully for the audition, wearing a knee–length dress that balanced charm and sophistication. The outfit highlighted her natural elegance while reflecting the essence of the character she aimed to portray. To add a symbolic touch, she had pinned a delicate lily flower to her dress, knowing it was an integral part of the psycho sister’s persona. The character’s attachment to lilies was a subtle yet powerful detail, and Lily wanted to make a lasting impression.

As she walked into the room, she felt the weight of many gazes upon her. Some were admiring, captivated by her poise, while others carried hints of hostility or envy. Ignoring the mixed reactions, Lily maintained her composure and took a seat. She folded her hands neatly and waited patiently for her turn, unaffected by the scrutiny around her.

Nearby, a girl named Abby sat observing Lily with a sharp, judgmental gaze. Among the contenders, Abby was one of the more prominent names. She had gained a following after playing the second female lead in a highly popular film. Her previous success had made her arrogant and self–assured, and she believed this antagonist role was as good as hers.

But the sight of Lily unsettled her. There was something about Lily’s effortless grace and how perfectly she embodied the character’s essence that made Abby uneasy. Despite her confidence, Abby couldn’t shake a subtle sense of threat.
