princess maker - WILD CITY

[ When you insert the key and open the door, you'll find inside the room looks small, cramped, just one living space without any doors—you can hear noises of the bustling life outside, as well as other people beyond the thin walls. the space bends on the walls, and a basket sits on the table in the center of this studio room with a blanket folded into it.

Inside, a baby stirs restlessly - you hope she goes back to sleep soon, and you play your flute in hopes of lulling her back to sleep. Unfortunately, a sharp knock sounds from the ceiling - the tenants upstairs don't like what you're doing. You take a more drastic measure, singing softly to your baby as you rock the basket back and forth and hope the tenants don't complain again. ]

-

[ Slowly, the scene changes, fading in and out with various silent scenes—the baby cries, and in turn, the upstairs tenants knock at your ceiling again; she finds her way to your flute, tooting happily though no noise comes out; a little toddler, she becomes attached to a stray cat; you decline her request, and she storms out to run away for a little while as you regret; she returns, covered in cat hair and ignores everything you say; then the wall becomes opaque. ]

[ In the corner of the room, a young girl the age of 10 crouches, looking away from you. she holds a cat in her arms, petting the creature constantly.

You wish you could have done better for your baby girl. But, this is what you love to do and maybe you'll get a gig that pays well enough that you two can move out of this shithole - hopefully. You tried your best to rear her, but with how infrequent you're in the house, working odd jobs in the day and performing at the pub at night, you're not sure anymore. You know she is capable of anything if she puts her mind to it - even becoming a princess - but you also know it's not easy to become a princess, and she's horribly equipped for any of that. Then again, if anything your little tyke is tough, and if anyone could be a rags-to-riches princess, it would be her. Thankfully, you've emergency savings - for her schooling, of course. You have a lot of regrets, but maybe it's not too late. ]

No. But she isn't going to learn how to fend for herself if we step in. I'm more concerned about the other adults around the kids.

If she breaks another student's arm, she is going to be expelled.

She doesn't need to break anything, she just needs to defend herself.

[sighs]

Do you want her to potentially get expelled?

Shouldn't those other kids get expelled?

The teacher might be looking the other way.

Learning how to survive in unjust situations is also a part of life.

Since she's taking a lot of Martial Arts classes, we can tell her that if the other children pick on her, she's allowed to fight back.

And talk to the teacher and tell them that they should be better and keep kids from bullying others.

That's not likely to work. Talking to the teachers that way. We're going to end up blacklisted along with the child.

That is an option. We could also transfer schools.

And who is going to teach her? Also, she has a single parent to earn income. Can they afford that?
