Sarah is a teenager from Jamaica who is working on a group project at school with Tom, a student from the UK. Sarah likes to talk about problems openly and believes that discussing issues will help them find a solution. She encourages Tom to share his thoughts too. However, Tom is more reserved and prefers to avoid conflict. He thinks it is better to keep things calm. When Sarah pushes for a solution, Tom feels overwhelmed and pulls away. He thinks Sarah is being too aggressive and worries that their disagreement will get worse. Sarah feels frustrated because she wants to solve the problem together. This misunderstanding shows how different ways of handling conflicts can make it hard for them to work as a team.
