she’s probably facing in the wrong direction.

I tried that, it says its an invalid directing command, and MC is in zone 2, you’re right

INT. GIRLY ROOM - DAY
&YOU spot 0.653 321 361 in zone 2 AND YOU is idle_lay_awake_rubeyes_loop
&cut to zone 2
@transition fade in black 2

Try this, hope it works. If it doesn’t then try with also adding “AND YOU faces left/right” Good Luck!
