More About “It’s Not About Fear“:
A nervous Lena goes over to James’ for a date. There, while cooking dinner, the two flirt lightly, and James considers reaching for her hand... Until he feels something over his shoulder. The now familiar presence of a dark creature waiting in the shadows. His confidence cracked a little, he goes over to the end of the room and turns on the light, a temporary fix to make it go away before Lena notices.
While they are having dinner, Lena goes on the offense again and a simple touching of his leg triggers another appearance by the creature. Feeling himself succomb to panic, James makes up an excuse to leave the room.
The creature follows him into the kitchen, where he starts to hyperventilate and lose grounding. Lena, aware that something is going on, comes to find him, dispelling the creature’s oppressive presence. As she comforts him, he blurts out that something is “Always there“, and points towards the creature. Unphased, Lena takes him back into the living room, where she points to another creature lurking in the shadows and says “There’s mine“.
Reassured, James attempts to explain the traumatic event that happened to him, but as it proves too distressing for him, Lena stops him and suggests they just calm down together for the rest of the evening. We leave them as they eat ice cream together, smiling, with both monsters lurking over their shoulders, not as threatening as they once were.
