After school, a group of students gather in a classroom to start work on their final-year project. Rayden sits with them but doesn’t contribute. He’s distracted, staring at his phone. The rest of the group are discussing roles and timelines. A notification pings in the class group chat. The lecturer has posted: “Group Leader for Group 2: Rayden.” Everyone looks at him. Some are confused. Aiman watches him closely. 2.
As the group questions Rayden on the group work, he panics and fidgets with a plastic bag in his pocket, Aiman notices this. As he walks out, a small plastic packet falls out of his hoodie pocket. Aiman notices it and locks eyes with Rayden. Rayden then runs out of the classroom, saying he needs to go to the toilet.
Rayden enters the school toilet. He closes the door behind him and takes out the packet of powder. He opens it up but then he gets hit with a wave of memories and thoughts from his parents, this causes him to distress and crash out.
Aiman enters the toilet to check on Rayden, Rayden lashes out at him. Rayden looks up to the mirror to see a drugged up version of himself staring back, he washes his face and checks again to see this version of him gone.
Rayden then takes a step back and realises that he needs to stop this. He pours away the powder from the bag into the sink and washes it away with water. He stares at himself in the mirror.
Rayden enters the classroom. Aiman is happy to see him. Rayden starts dealing out tasks to the team and they begin their work.
