Epsode 1
Yatu
The one with a plan (that keeps changing)
Want
She has a full-time role with health benefits and a sense of direction
Fear
That the plan was always the wrong one and she spent her 20s on it
Public self
Organised. Composed. Has an answer for everything.
City pressure
Lagos rewards speed and connection. She has neither right now and no one can know.
Inner self
Constantly recalculating. Keeping it together is the whole performance.
Want
To make something real. Art, music, anything with his name on it.
Fear
That he doesn't have enough to show for the risks he took
Public self
Laid-back. Low-key. Doesn't complain out loud.
City pressure
Lagos is expensive and doesn't care about potential. It cares about what you did today.
Inner self
Praying, calculating, negotiating with himself about when enough is enough.
Want
To stop absorbing other people's chaos and build something for herself
Fear
That caring too much is the thing that costs her the most
Public self
Direct. Funny. Reads situations fast.
City pressure
In Lagos, knowing the truth about a situation doesn't give you power to change it.
Inner self
Carrying things she doesn't name out loud. Watching the group closely.
