text = """
"Okay… [calm] breathe. Just one step at a time. [hesitates] I thought I was ready for this, but my hands are shaking.

[softly] Listen… I’m not angry. I’m just… disappointed. [frustrated sigh] Because you promised me you would show up.

[trying to sound fine] It’s okay! Really. I can handle it. [voice cracks] I can handle it… I just didn’t want to handle it alone.

[whispers] Do you hear that? The room gets so loud when nobody answers. [pauses] And then your brain starts filling in the silence with worst-case stories.

[sudden realization] Wait. No— I’m doing it again. [grounded] I’m here. I’m safe. I can choose what happens next.

[hopeful] Maybe this isn’t the end of the story. [small laugh] Maybe it’s the part where it finally turns.

[excited] Okay—okay. New plan. [confident] I’m going to call you once, then I’m going to move forward. [smiling] Because I’m done begging for a place in my own life."
