Linda felt trapped not by physical restraints but by the urgency of time pressing on her. In an effort to organize her thoughts, she reached for a notebook to jot down her feelings. However, upon opening it, she found herself looking at an unexpected and crude drawing of a naked woman, clearly belonging to Martinsson. This revelation didn’t shock her as much as it could have because she was all too aware of how many men around her were often preoccupied with sexualizing women in their imaginations.

The encounter left Linda contemplating the impact of societal attitudes toward women and how they are often reduced to mere objects of desire in the eyes of men. This moment underscored her sense of frustration and confinement, not just by time but by the expectations and perceptions that surround her. The drawn woman in the notebook symbolized a bigger issue, grounding her thoughts in the reality that the men in her life were often more focused on their fantasies rather than genuine connections.
