Naya had just finished her hairstyle and her clothes for the School Festival. Her class were doing a cafe/tarot reading event in their classroom. Although Naya was the only one who made a reading for the customers. Due to her getting easily tired after a reading Lucinda made sure that it wasn't cheap. Unfortunately they had to keep raising the payment since rumors were being spread and people came flocking to get a reading from her. 

– Naya! you're free to go, her teacher said as he was drooling over money.

– Yes, she said and hurried home to get her mother.

..........

– I won't go, she said.

– Come on mother. Maya has trained for this for so long. And she has done it all for you.

– You don't get it, Naya. Maya is gonna act as the fool and be the one laughed at. 

– Are you sure you're afraid that she's gonna be laughed at or you?

– What are you saying?

– Mother, stop being such a judgemental normal little bitch!

– Watch your language!

– Mother, when you gave birth to me and my sister what were you hoping for? Pretty little dolls you could control and dress up however you wanted?

– Naya how dare-.

– But that is what you are doing to us! Naya screamed at her mother's face in front of all costumers. You are asking Maya to be just like every other pathetic girl. Weak and pretentious. Bowing down to people even when she was not wrong because you don't want conflict. You are a loser to other moms, mom. And sometimes I feel very disappointed in you when you don't acknowledge Maya for who she is. She may not be a good and diligient school student however she has become a more wonderful and better person than those pretentious rich bitches that you mother want YOUR DAUGHTER to become! 

She slapped her own daughter and everything was quiet.

– MOM I'M SO DISAPPOINTED IN YOU! However even if you're not there for your daughter at least she will know she has a sister on her side. Your her mother for heaven's sake. Be there for your daughter woman. 

Naya rushed out of the restaurant and went back to school just in time for the play to begin. Meanwhile in the restaurant Haru could feel the eyes of the customers however she didn't care as the words of her daughter were echoing in her head until she finally had enough and decided to go out. TO THE SCHOOL!

When Haru arrived at the school gate she was greeted by Naya outside.

– I knew you would come, mom. Come let's go.

They sat at two seats that were perfectly away from the stage and it began...

Maya played a fool in a romantic princess story and even though it was supposed to be funny she made it more realistic by showing the audience that even though her character was a fool she too could feel hurt. And the way that other characters treated her. Made fun of her showed bullying. Even though everyone was against bullying it was hard for some to recognize when one was being bullied or when they were bullying a person. This act of Maya taught the audience to be humble because basically anyone could have ended up as a "fool" in a life. People who didn't were simply lucky and not privileged. It may have been them as well.

After the theater was over and Maya received lots of applause Naya and Haru walked over her. Haru who was still crying hugged Maya, almost cradling her.

– You were wonderful, my daughter. I'm so proud over you, she said kissing Maya on her fore-head.

– See I told you mother. Nothing to worry about.
