INT. LIBRARY - DAY

Zayn (late 20s, nonverbal) sits at a quiet corner desk in the library, engrossed in his book. His need to use the restroom becomes increasingly urgent, but he's unable to effectively communicate his predicament. He shifts uncomfortably in his seat, trying to hold on.

As time passes, Zayn's friends, Liam, Niall, Harry, and Louis, who had been studying at nearby tables, finish their work and decide to leave the library. Unaware of Zayn's distress, they gather their belongings and head towards the exit.

Zayn notices his friends leaving one by one, panic beginning to rise within him. He closes his book and quickly stands up, hastily trying to follow them. He weaves through the library aisles, desperately searching for his friends, but they're nowhere to be found.

The pressure becomes too much for Zayn to bear, and in his state of panic, he loses control. He feels a warm sensation spreading down his legs as he wets himself, his face flushing with embarrassment and shame. Tears well up in his eyes, and he sinks to the floor, overwhelmed by a panic attack.

Minutes pass, and the library remains quiet except for Zayn's rapid, shallow breaths. His heart pounds in his chest as he struggles to regain control of his emotions. He feels utterly alone and helpless.

Just when it feels like the panic might consume him entirely, a familiar voice breaks through the haze. It's Liam.

LIAM
Zayn? Zayn, where are you?

Zayn looks up, his tear-streaked face filled with a mixture of relief and vulnerability. Liam rushes over and kneels beside him, his expression filled with concern and empathy.

LIAM (gentle)
Hey, mate. It's okay. I've got you.

Liam wraps his arms around Zayn, providing a comforting presence. Niall, Harry, and Louis soon join them, their worried faces reflecting a mix of confusion and understanding.

NIALL
Zayn, are you alright?

Zayn's inability to speak hinders his response, but his friends don't need words to comprehend his distress. They exchange glances, silently acknowledging the situation.

HARRY
Let's get him cleaned up and take care of him. He needs us right now.

Together, Liam, Niall, Harry, and Louis help Zayn to his feet and guide him out of the library, offering him the support and understanding he desperately needs. They walk alongside him, their presence a reassuring reminder that he's not alone.

FADE OUT.
