Part 2: Reading Segment 1 (3 mins)

Focus: Introduces Eleanor’s emotional isolation and the yearning for authentic connection.

Part 3: Reading Segment 2 (3 mins)

Excerpt (Eleanor reflecting on small acts of connection):

“It was strange, realizing that small gestures mattered so much. A smile, a conversation, an unexpected kindness—it made the world feel less cold and a little more real. Perhaps people weren’t so dangerous after all.”

Focus: Highlights the importance of human connection and gradual emotional opening.

Part 4: Reading Segment 3 (3 mins)

Excerpt (Eleanor embracing change and vulnerability):

“For the first time, I allowed myself to imagine a different life, one where I was not afraid to be imperfect, to be seen, to ask for help. It was terrifying and liberating all at once. This was authenticity—messy, human, and entirely my own.”

Focus: Shows Eleanor’s journey toward emotional authenticity, courage, and self-acceptance.
