INT. SCHOOL CORRIDOR - DAY Jane, Sam, Aaron, and Molly-Rose sit on a bench in the school corridor, chatting during lunch break. They are surrounded by other students. JANE So, Molly-Rose, did you finish that math assignment I helped you with? MOLLY-ROSE (smiling) Yes, thanks to you, Jane! Aaron here couldn't even add two numbers before, but now he's acing his exams! AARON (defensively) I could too! I just... had a minor delay. That's all. SAM (teasingly) Sure, Aaron! Just admit it, Jane's the real brainiac here. JANE (laughing) Hey now, let's not go overboard with compliments. I'm just good with numbers. We all excel in different things. AARON (lowering his gaze) Speaking of things... I wanted to talk to you guys about something. It's about my mom. JANE (concerned) What's going on, Aaron? Is everything okay? AARON (fidgeting) Well, she has PTSD. It's been rough lately, and I thought you should know. MOLLY-ROSE (curious) PTSD? What's that? JANE (sympathetic) It stands for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, Molly-Rose. Sometimes, after someone goes through a traumatic experience, it can affect them mentally. How is your mom feeling, Aaron? AARON (sighs) She's been having flashbacks and nightmares. Even small things trigger her, and it's really tough seeing her in pain. I just wanted you guys to understand why sometimes I might seem distant or worried. SAM (nods) We get it, Aaron. Mental health is important, and we're here for you. If you ever need someone to talk to or if there's anything we can do to help, just let us know. MOLLY-ROSE (sincerely) Yeah, Aaron, we're your friends. We'll support you and your mom through this. JANE (smiling warmly) Absolutely! Remember, Aaron, friends stick together, no matter what. We'll always be here for you. AARON (teary-eyed) Thanks, guys. It means a lot to me. I needed to hear that. They exchange understanding glances, a silent agreement to support each other through life's challenges. FADE OUT.
