About this submission

Leo, a trans man with undiagnosed ADHD, is on his way to win back his ex-girlfriend, Dani, when he gets caught in a storm. A panic attack takes over Leo after the rain ruins his apology gift for her. As he reflects on their relationship and his behavior in and out of it, Leo realizes he's chasing after Dani for the wrong reasons. Instead of addressing the root cause of the state of dysfunction he often finds himself in, he'd come to rely on her as a crutch. Leo realizes he must repair his relationship with himself instead.
