It.. Felt surreal.

Syoji stared in the mirror of her bathroom and looked at herself, almost as if amazed.

Same black hair..

Same grey eyes

Same brown skin

And the same dream.

..At the end of the day.. I'm still me. I still.. Want to go big. I.. Want to do well in school.. I want to keep my grades up..

I want to prove her wrong.

Syoji shook that last thought from her mind and flicked the lights off in the bathroom, briskly leaving.

I don't want to remember.

My dream being crushed.. Being thrown away like garbage. It.. It hurts.

Syoji stationed herself in front of her PC and booted it up as the memories came back.

"I wanna be a vet!"

"That's.. Okay, but don't you want to be a r341 doctor? They make a lot more money than vets do."

"I already said that I want to be a vet. I've been saying this since elementary school."

"I know but.. Don't you dare about human lives? Being a vet isn't nearly as useful as being a real doctor."

"..."

"I'm just saying. Think about the impact. You could save lives by going into nursing. And it's better than being a vet."

She was crying before she knew it, tears gathering in her eyes and dropping onto her keyboard.

I just.. Want to do this.

Syoji ignored the tears and fought back the expression of pure anguish trying to creep across her face, typing her password into her computer.

This wasn't any time to cry.. She had work to do.

Holding back any sob that threatened to erupt from her, Syoji logged into the college website she used to study her field in the health science, opened up a new tab to select a playlist on YouTube.. And pushed back any other previous thoughts, feelings or worries into the back of her mind with the music.
