I think it's obvious that music has had a big influence over this whole story for me. Over my whole life in general actually!
I had playlists for different characters and would often have to listen to them in order to get a feel for the mood I was trying to write.
You'll see from the playlists when I share them that this band, Coheed & Cambria, had a big part in all of them. It was this song in particular that had a hold over me whenever I wrote Izzy, especially while she was still with Jamie but very clearly in love with Will.
If anyone has ever experienced panic attacks or panic disorders, you'll understand the lyrics and descriptions very well. More specifically, what I hope is that this would stand out as an ideal choice for Izzy's personality if you do decide to listen to it.

Love Protocal - Coheed & Cambria
You locked a knife inside my heart
Buried a key inside my mind
The maps surveyed, the X you chart
Where our hands go to hide
Will our needs stay level
As the terrain starts to grade high?
Should I remain unsettled?
Watch goodnight turn to goodbye
Goodnight turn to goodbye
Hold on to me
Tell me you've got me, sweetheart
The world is going dim in my gaze
Sweet vertigo
Feel my lungs heaving, choking
Clawing down my back, panic attack
I'm alone, watch me float as I fall
The soundtrack placed over this heart
It shares no rhythm of mine
It juts and sways, it ends and starts
All in and out of our time
Oh, I can be your dancer
The one you set within your sights
When I admit surrender
Then maybe goodbye will turn to goodnight
Goodbye will turn to goodnight
Hold on to me
Tell me you've got me, sweetheart
The world is going dim in my gaze
Sweet vertigo
Feel my lungs heaving, choking
Clawing down my back, panic attack
I'm alone, watch me float as I fall
Oh no, we have been cursed
The stage set for a tragic verse
Our love protocol romance
Our air drained of happenstance
What have we turned ourselves into?
This abstract personnel
Hold on to me
Tell me you've got me, sweetheart
The world is going dim in my gaze
Sweet vertigo
Feel my lungs heaving, choking
Clawing down my back, panic attack
I'm alone, watch me float as I fall
Oh, watch me float
Oh, watch me float
Watch me float as I fall
