Manya recalls the night when the Russian forces first attacked Kyiv. One of the initial missiles struck her building, her home. She gradually returns to her work as a foley artist. Manya reflects on the concept of "cool" kids from school who influenced her to try her first cigarette. She will go on to take up smoking. She smoke with her father for the first time while looking at the massive crater left by the Russian missiles in her building. Distracted and unable to focus on her work, Manya questions the audience on where she is supposed to go from here.
