Read the drama scene and answer the question.
(Scene: A school auditorium after rehearsal. The stage lights are off, but a single work lamp glows near the curtains. Two students, JADA and LEO, gather props into a bin. A paper crown sits on a chair.)
JADA: (folding a cape with precise edges) You're taking the crown home again?
LEO: (too casual) It's safer with me.
JADA: Safer than…a locked prop closet?
LEO: (shrugs) Things disappear here.
JADA: Funny. The only thing that keeps "disappearing" is the crown.
LEO: You don't trust me.
JADA: I trust the rules. (She tapes a label to the bin, pressing hard.) The rules keep everyone from turning into…little kings.
LEO: (laughs once, then stops) It's cardboard, Jada.
JADA: Cardboard that makes people act like it's gold.
LEO: (lowering his voice) My little brother wants to see it. He thinks it's real.
JADA: (pauses, then returns to folding) Your brother has never seen you share the spotlight, has he?
LEO: That's not— (He grips the crown, thumb rubbing the bent point.)
JADA: I'm just saying. Tomorrow, when Ms. Patel asks where it is, I'm not lying.
LEO: (stares at the dark stage) Nobody asked you to.
JADA: They won't have to. (She closes the bin with a snap.)
Question: What does Jada's dialogue most strongly suggest about her deeper concern?
