On my way, I stopped by a convenience store and picked up some chocolate and ice cream-my go-to comfort treats in moments of sadness.

Exiting the store, I felt the weight of my purse and discovered an abundance of coins inside. Puzzled, I wondered aloud, "why do I have so may coins when I didn't even bring any cash today?" Catching sight of a claw machine to my left, a playful idea sparked within me as I mused, "well then, let's make a use of these coins, shall we?"

Excitedly, I started playing the claw machine, determined to win the panda, I pressed the button and said, "okay here we go" When the claw finally grabbed the panda, my excitement peaked, but it slipped and fell back down. Disappointed, I couldn't help but doubt my skills, muttering, "Maybe I'm not as good as I though. Let's try one more time"

Despite multiple attempts, each resulting in failure, I persisted, joking to myself, "okay this is attempt number 13. My ice cream is already melting, so please, God" Pressing the button hesitantly, I diverted my gaze and covered my face. Suddenly, a sound echoed as something fell onto the metal floor. Peering underneath the claw machine, I found the panda.
I smiled and I pondered, "woah.. first try guys"

I grab the panda and my ice cream and chocolates and I decides to eat this at the skating park

Arriving at the skating park, the plastic of chocolate slipped from grasp, drawing my attention. As I bent down to pick it up, a familiar giggle caught my ear, prompting me to look up and discover Emily in the midst of laughter. My heart sank as I witnessed Gordon teaching Emily how to skate and he even hugged her. Confusion and hurt mingled within me as I wondered silently, She's not me, Gordon. I'm here. Why her? Do you see me and her as one and the same?

Struggling to contain my emotions, I fought back tears and whispered to myself, "Gosh I never knew I had a twin who acts like me" The sight of Gordon with Emily at our cherished skating park weighed heavily on my heart.
