She engages with her daughters, Mira and Jude, building LEGO castles and relishing the moment with them.
Her husband Fadi seems distracted and impatient while putting the girls to bed and quickly leaves the room.
Fadi reveals to Yara that he quit his job after giving up his half of the business during a disagreement with his partner Ramy.
Yara is confused by Fadi's decision as he justifies it by saying he's ready for something new, trying to please her by working less.
After an argument about work stress and focus, Fadi expresses his frustration towards Yara's need for things to make sense.
