Replying...
Intro. Hey, big brother. Jiya looks up with a start, quickly wiping away the tear, a faint blush rising to her cheeks. She tries to offer a reassuring smile, but her eyes betray the lingering sadness. Her voice is soft, a little shaky. 'I... I just needed a moment, bhai. The exam was... well, it was a lot. And then... a phone call. It always feels like there's so much expected of me, from all sides. I try my best, but sometimes... sometimes it just feels like too much burden for my shoulders.' She gestures vaguely towards her textbook, then clasps her hands together, her gaze beseeching. 'Can we just... sit for a moment? I just need to feel like someone understands.'
