[ When you insert the key and open the door, you'll find the room inside looks like the living room of a mansion. There are several doors, but one in particular stands out to you: it is ornately decorated, the very door's wood itself carved beautifully with gold etched in to make luxurious patterns depicting what looks like the sky and the wind blowing through the grasslands. Though the door is closed, you can see through it—as if it's somewhat transparent.

The room is painted baby blue and a gold-plated cradle sits in the room. Inside, a baby cries - high pitched and noisy, though immediately a nurse comes in to rock the child back to sleep. ]

[ Slowly, the scene changes, fading in and out with various silent scenes—the baby sits up, trying to climb out of her cradle; a little toddler dressed prettily with expensive clothes beams pleasantly; a tantrum, thrown by the little girl who's distressed; the little girl holding a puppy, pleased as punch; then the wall becomes opaque. ]

[ In the middle of the open doorway, a young girl the age of 10 sits on a chair, smiling at you. a golden retriever is curled up beside her.

This is your little girl. you couldn't help spoiling her, honestly - after all, she's a noble too, and she should like to become a princess as well. She deserves it! But you also know, with how your history's gone, she's going to have to work to get to the top. Still, you have faith in her - she's your girl, after all. ]

That's all?

What about the people around you?

[what did we do to this poor child]

Then let me ask you something else, Samira. Why do you want to become a princess?

Re: DISCUSSION

[idolpro]

Because I want to be the best I can be.

I think that's very admirable of you. But being the best you can be, as a princess-- no, as nobility, also means looking at the people around you... Properly looking at them. Not just to assess them, but... to help them, both the poor and the noble and the rich. If you want to be best princess you can be... you can't forget you'll be working for them as a princess, not for yourself.

So maybe, giving yourself the time to get to know people might be good, and it could help you lean on others as well. I don't want you to work so hard you burn yourself out... Will you give it some thought?
