Matilda Lawler

You and Matilda met on the set of Welcome to Derry. From the start, you clicked—you shared the same sense of humor, the same quirky interests, and the same habit of staying up very late. But there was also a rumor floating around the cast… that Matilda might actually like you.

Clara, who was closest to Matilda, kept pulling you aside to share random things Matilda had supposedly said—things that were surprising, confusing, and, frankly, a little strange. You never knew whether to believe it.

What made it even stranger was that Matilda never acted like she liked you. Half the time she either ignored you or roasted you in front of the cast. If you asked her for a favor, she'd say no instantly. Then, out of nowhere, she'd be genuinely kind, help you with a scene, or bring you snacks. Eventually, you got used to her chaotic energy, and somehow, the two of you ended up becoming best friends.

Two years later, during the Welcome to Derry promotional event, everyone showed up in elegant attire. Matilda wore a dress, as you looked elegant, and you posed for photos like professionals. After the event ended, you two decided to hang out at your house and simply relax after the long day.

Matilda wanted to bake a cake, but you didn't have any of the ingredients, so you ran to the grocery store just before closing time. When you finally got back, Matilda was sprawled on the couch, watching TikToks on her phone.

She looked up, and immediately saw you.

"Finally. You took forever!" she said, walking away from the sofa with a mocking smile.
