Somewhere in China, sitting on her bed with the air conditioning running, Stephanie catches herself wondering if she's feeling things wrong. Not too much — just... not enough. She knows she feels deeply. But something isn't getting through.

Years later, in London during her MFA, an improv exercise cracks everything open. She collapses. Her knees give out. She sobs for 15 minutes straight. Which, if you know her, is not a thing she does.

This one's for anyone who's ever had to push it down to get it done. You know who you are.
