The morning was packed with important scenes that needed shooting. Amara decided she'd tackle her other issues after the filming was done and headed to the set.

As she walked into the studio, she could feel the curious eyes following her, but Amara kept her composure, striding in with an air of calm.

At the age of ten, when she had been left with scars, she had faced far more judgmental stares than she was getting now. She'd developed a thick skin to such looks.
