[Scene 1 – School, sunny morning]
Claws is still in the hospital. The group enters without him, and the mood in the classroom feels strange — half the students look at them with suspicion, the other half with curiosity.
Rafaela tries to break the ice:
Rafaela (smiling): "Guys, stop staring at us like we're aliens. Go study, the exam's coming."
Some laugh, and the tension lightens a bit.
Isa, always beside her, exhales deeply.
Isa: "If it weren't for you, I would've punched half this room already."
Rafaela (winking): "That's what I'm here for. To hold you back and make you smile."

[Scene 2 – An Unexpected Invitation]
During recess, a group of boys and girls invite Rafaela to a weekend party.
Among them are Camila, a stylish senior with short blue hair, and Henrique, a talkative, charming guy.
Camila: "Rafa, you look like someone who knows how to have fun. Come with us Saturday night. Music, drinks, and no boring people killing the vibe."
Henrique (smiling): "And if Isa doesn't want to, you can come on your own. It'll be unforgettable."
Isa grows defensive.
Isa: "I don't really trust this crowd, Rafa."
Rafaela (holding her hand): "Relax, Isa. I'm not going alone. If I go, you're coming with me. Who knows, you might even enjoy yourself, huh?"

[Scene 3 – Hospital, late afternoon]
Rafaela shows up in Claws' room carrying a bag of snacks and soda. He smiles when he sees her.
Claws: "You always bring junk food. You'll kill me faster than the stab wounds."
Rafaela (laughing): "And you're gonna say you don't like it? I know the food here's awful."
She sits beside the bed. For a moment, the mood shifts — they look at each other, remembering something from the past.
Rafaela (softly): "Do you remember… that time, last year?"
Claws (looking away): "I remember. We almost… but it could never work."
Rafaela (forcing a smile): "Yeah. You had your life, I had mine. We chose to stay friends."
The silence is heavy, though not uncomfortable. Rafa takes his hand.
Rafaela: "I'll keep you updated on everything, okay? You won't miss a thing. Trust me."
Claws (sincerely): "I trust you. Always have."

[Scene 4 – Saturday Night Party]
The weekend comes. Rafaela brings Isa with her. The place is full of color, loud music, flashing lights, teenagers laughing, some drinking and smoking.
Isa (looking around): "This is definitely not my kind of place."
Rafaela (laughing): "That's why I brought you. To teach you how to live a little."
Camila shows up with cups in hand.
Camila: "Free drinks, girls. Just don't blame me tomorrow."
Isa hesitates, Rafaela grabs one without a second thought.
Henrique approaches, starting a conversation with Rafa.
Henrique: "So, you're the famous Rafaela? I heard you've got plenty of attitude. I like that."
Rafa laughs, but Isa watches carefully, suspicious.

[Scene 5 – Torn Between Two Worlds]
At the party, Rafaela dances, talks, drinks a little. Isa, more reserved, ends up chatting with Joana, a shy classmate who was sitting alone. Little by little, Isa opens up more — Rafaela notices and smiles, happy for her friend.
Later, Rafaela slips away to the bathroom. Alone in front of the mirror, her smile fades.
Rafaela (thinking): "I laugh, I dance, I drink… but none of it hides the fear inside me. And when the sadness comes… only Claws can calm me down."
She takes a deep breath, returns to the party, and resumes her "social life," but the melancholy remains in her eyes.

[Final Scene]
In the early hours, Rafaela sends a message to Claws outside the party:
> "Hey, idiot. I survived the night. I'll tell you everything tomorrow. I miss you."
Claws' phone buzzes in the hospital. He reads it, gives a faint smile, and closes his eyes.
