MS. LAURENT: “It is better than last time…”
Panel 7
Scene: Medium shot of Ms. Laurent stepping forward, now fully addressing Emma. Her expression is calm but firm. Lily stands slightly behind her, her smile fading as she senses the criticism coming.
Dialogue:
MS. LAURENT: “But your movements are still too individualistic.”
MS. LAURENT: “You dance beautifully, Emma, but not as part of an ensemble.”
Panel 8
Scene: Final emotional panel. Emma is shown from behind in the foreground, her shoulders slightly tense. Ms. Laurent stands facing her in the distance, giving final advice, while Lily peeks from behind the teacher. The studio feels larger and quieter now. Emma’s face is partly turned down, thoughtful and hurt, but not defeated.
Dialogue:
MS. LAURENT: “Ballet is about unity.”
MS. LAURENT: “If you want to pass the auditions, you must learn to move with others, not only for yourself.”
Optional final caption:
CAPTION: “Emma said nothing. But for the first time, she wondered whether expression and belonging could ever mean the same thing.”
