"To Be Loved Is to Be Known" follows a young girl who, after enduring significant trauma, has shut herself off emotionally from the world. She carries her pain in silence, feeling isolated. Through flashbacks of her most difficult moments, the story reveals her vulnerability and fear, contrasting with the present, where someone she loves gently encourages her to open up. For the first time in a long while, she feels safe enough to share her truth, to let someone understand the complexities of her pain. Slowly beginning to trust him; feeling that to be loved by him means to be truly known.
