Bali : Paradis ou Illusion ?

Lingard

Claire dreams of Bali—not to escape, but to breathe. Over drinks on a rooftop, she and Daniel debate: Can slow mornings and sunsets really cure exhaustion? He sees the risks; she sees a chance to feel alive again. As the sun sets, their low-key tension eases, leaving only one truth: sometimes you have to leave comfort to find clarity.
