MINDWAVE
Lili for Elliot Navarro
Real Life: A brilliant astronaut, highly disciplined, on the verge of launching into space.
Dream-state Life: A soft-spoken, content retail worker in a small town who finds peace in simplicity and companionship. He isn't at all prepared to go to space, and is highly anxious about it. Though the only problem is nobody else can complete this mission.
Arc: After experiencing the dream life, Eli no longer feels at home in the stars. He questions his ambitions, identity, and purpose. His arc reflects on whether greatness matters without inner peace, and if the life you build matters more than the life you’re told to chase.
Core Theme: What is success if it never made you happy?
