The movie had already reached its halfway point, and with the release of the official trailer, social media had erupted into chaos. Everywhere Hailey looked, her face was there—on trending hashtags, news blogs, even gossip sites.
For the first time in her life, people were actually talking about her.
And not just talking—praising her. Commentators hailed her as the breakout star, the fresh storm of the industry. Even critics who were notorious for nitpicking had nothing but admiration for her emotional depth, her screen presence, and the layered vulnerability she brought to her role.
It should've felt like a dream come true.
But the buzz wasn't entirely pleasant.
While Hailey's popularity soared, Kaira's seemed to shrink in contrast. Viewers couldn't help but notice the sharp contrast in energy—Kaira appeared dull, tense, and distracted in her scenes, while Hailey shone with a charisma that couldn't be ignored.
And as expected, the backlash came swiftly.
