Eliza stared at her reflection in the bathroom mirror, the lines around her eyes more pronounced than usual. Her essay, once a testament to her resilience, now felt like a blaring neon sign advertising her weaknesses. She was being judged, analyzed, and categorized.

A wave of nausea washed over her. She leaned against the cool tile wall, trying to regain her composure. This feeling – it was akin to being held underwater, gasping for air.

She wanted to tear the screen from the wall.

She splashed cold water on her face, but it didn't help. The image of the essay and the comments flashed in front of her.
