06 - week six

WEEK SIX

Sunday starts with more aches and pains than you might be used to. Florence patched people up after Saturday’s lesson, sure, but it’s not a complete cure - not to mention it doesn’t ease the sting of betrayal. Some classmates that you thought would cooperate wound up breaking your trust in the end, and this week will be interesting with the fallout.

It’s hard to say what this week will have in store otherwise. Things are changing, and it’s not clear what this means for all of you. On the bright side, however, the creatures and places you once knew from home have suddenly disappeared, so that's less that you need to worry about. There are new areas for you to look at as well.

I see... And did you decide to be your true self? That sounds like it would be the most difficult option, from what I have learned of idols since the three of you arrived here.

I did. And yes, it will be. I'm... considered clumsy and airheaded, I know. When I said something that didn't suit their image of for the first time, I got a lot of backlash.

( just thinking of it still hurts. "this isn't shizuku", they said- and for an unconventional workout drink. but she shakes her head, clearing her thoughts. )

But I spent so long living a lie with those scripts that made me out to be perfect, and it was suffocating. I felt like I'd been walking on a tightrope over a pit of spikes, and the slightest mistake could be devastating. I never want to live like that again. And... the majority expressed an interest in getting to know the real me, too.

[Florence is quiet for a moment, processing this, before they nod.]

I hope you are able to express these feelings in your song.

[Which is... a simple sentiment, perhaps, but. That's Florence for you.]

Me too. ... If you'd like to hear the first draft, I'll sing it for you later.
