This is so dramatic after a 10 second clip, but I am literally so proud of layla. She didn't talk to anyone until she was in literal crisis in s2 and s4. Now a day after she recognizes her feelings, she's naming them, saying them, and crying about it to the person she trusts more than anything. She's gonna still struggle with throwing herself into work to manage, but she's come so far.

Layla is someone who feels so much and keeps everything close to her chest, never believing that people care enough about her and always coming second, so never trusting that what she's going through actually matters to them and focusing more on helping them through (I care a lot about how this impacts early layliv bc them having the same perceptions). But she has a support system that she can rely on and be vulnerable with, and that's absolutely everything for her.
