[She pulls the towel from her hair and sets it in her lap as she looks away. The negative thoughts are still weighing her down, and it may not look like it, but she's trying to look forward despite them. She just can't laugh it off like she used to. She had done that so many times before, and then the sadness set in. After that, there was nothing anymore, just an emptiness that could never be filled.
Never... she thought. Now when she feels that emptiness in her heart, there's something within it that pulsates. It's soft, faint, but it's there— and every time she thinks a positive thought, it grows ever so slightly. She's not alone. It's like a tiny, tiny voice that reminds her of that fact. So even though it's so hard right now, maybe she can keep going.]
My life was just always like this. Just when I was looking forward to something, when I'd worked so hard to do my best, something else would happen to take it away from me. I caused problems for everyone else like this, too. Plays were canceled, races were forfeited... All because I tried.
I gave up, or I thought I had, but then someone inspired me to try again— one last time. I was ready to turn my life around, and— I died and become a zombie.
That should have been the worst it could get. But I... [She reaches a hand up to grasp at her heart.] I met such amazing people that way... They accepted me despite this, despite the problems I caused, and I was able to become an idol! It was the best— the best feeling ever.
But just like that, it ended. I'm here, and... That's that.
