What a beautiful day to wake up to. The curtains are closed, she had just taken a small nap last night since she spent all week in her room lying down in her bed, staring at the dusty ceiling. For the first time in a while, she decides to sit up and look around in her room, to see ants and cockroaches around the walls. She looks at the floor, remembering the times she used to play with her dolls and rip the little plastic pieces off them. The dolls are still there, lying on the floor waiting for Giselle to play with them again.

She got out of her bed and sat on the floor to pick them up. They were old, her parents had given them to her when she was younger, now she is 25 and still unable to grasp why. Why is she still not able to feel anything even after everything that was so special to her is now broken. Well, it never was, of course. It was from her parents. And still, she is unable to grasp why. Why is she still not able to feel anything after she had spent all week with no sleep, starving herself? She wants to find out even if it will take a long time. She wants to feel human again.

So, she stands up from the ground, letting go of the doll in her hand, to walk to her wardrobe and pick up a beautiful, pink dress. She undressed herself, put it on, and looked in the mirror. She stared at herself as she put up her blonde curls in ribbons, she thinks she looks beautiful now. That she looks like a princess, but there was something missing. She is missing the fact that she is.
She may think that she looks like a princess at times and think that she looks beautiful but deep inside, she knows that it is not true.

She walks out of her room, about to exit her house to eat something, but she is forgetting something else. She stops and looks around at the pink walls with drawings and blood around them to find Gabrielle on the couch. Giselle's eyebrows rise, "Oh, I almost forgot you. You know I cannot go too far without you" she said quietly, walking towards the blonde doll with a pink dress and picking it up. It had been a while since she felt the texture of the doll. She missed it, even though the doll was full of dust. 

"I should clean you sometime, Gabbi. Since you are me, and people say take care of yourself..Or whatever." Giselle spoke to the doll. She finally walked out of her house to see the sun, and immediately turned her head down to the grass. She could barely see yet kept walking to search for Gya and Emma. They said they could meet up today. Giselle is not excited about it, but she still pretends to be.
