Locked away in a white room, Xyriel is told her memories aren’t real and her drawings are only fragments of confusion. But when a voice calls her name and the Pale Man appears in the hallway, she begins to remember pieces of the night her mother vanished. Though no one else believes her, Xyriel makes the quiet choice to trust herself. This is the second time she loves herself—by holding onto her truth even as she unravels.
In this episode, we explore what it means to love the version of yourself who is still trying, still breathing, still worthy of belief.
