Laura was constantly living in her own world of being horribly shy. The setting for the character of Laura metaphorically is within herself because shes too shy to come out of her shell.

‘I guess being shy is something you have to work out of

She wants to be like everyone else, but she has a long way to go before she overcomes her own insecurities.
