yeah, I definitely don’t intend it to be as simple as “she just needs to revert to her 18 year old self”. it’s more like there’s several sides to Isi

Isi's lines here are really interesting.
She says here that she's not doing what someone else wants, which obviously contrasts with her current life of marketing out herself and her image and ensuring she never veers away from that persona...
But I'm getting the sense it's not as simple as "Punk Isi was real Isi and pop star is fake."
Its mostly her fashion. Yeah, she has an image to hold onto, but even outside of that she still dresses very differently than she does here. She dresses cute when meeting Ro, when sneaking home.
Its also... Ro herself, kinda? Idk, this is kinda out there, but from what we see of her ex, she looks a lot like how Isi is now, rather than how she looks here.
Plus. Idk. It feels too simple. Your characters are too complex for it to be as basic as one is right about everything and the other is wrong about everything.
