3rd Person
Celestia rubs the the crease between her eyebrows, not at all wanting to deliver this announcement to her students. One of them is gone from their group... forever. Luna puts a comforting hand on her shoulder.
"Want me to do this?" she asks. Celestia shakes her head, memories had been plaguing her since last night. As the girl had no family she'd been asked to confirm the body... The broken, dead, body of Sunset Shimmer. She sighs, slightly, looking at the crowd of waiting students. All seem relaxed, probaly expecting good news. A showcase or another party as such. She takes a deep breath and begins.

"I'm afraid a student passed away last night." she begins. Imnedetly people look around, trying to see who is missing.
"The student was Sunset Shimmer." she continues. "The cause of death...was suicide." A shocked silence rings out. Rarity, Dash, A.J, Pinkie and Fluttershy exchange shocked looks. Twilight had asked them to befriend her. Only Fluttershy had tried. Now... They sit up staight, eyes locked on Celestia, awaiting more infomation. It was so silent you could hear a feather fall. The world seemed to hold its breath in acknowledgment of the sun's setting.
"She left a note, which I'm going to read now." she says.

To Canterlot High,
Well. You finally won. I give up. You were right. I am just a monster...One that doesn't deserve life. I did so many terrible things, I guess you don't want an explanation. But...I'm giving you one. You deserve to know why I did it all, after all it effected all of you . You may not care, you will probaly still hate me, but at least you'll finally know the truth. So, if you got this note, here it is. The truth...

I never wanted to brainwash you. All I ever wanted the crown for was to return to Equestria and prove I had magical potential. Obviously it backfired.  In all honesty I should've gone back to Equestria with Twilight. Started over. It would've stopped you having me around, extremely unfortunate for you. As I wanted it for my own benifot it...sorta....controlled me. Do remember I started having tears fall then I  turned into a demon, seemingly happy with my transformation. In fact I'm happy I was defeated, it stopped me doing something even worse. But, I promise, I didn't want to hurt anyone.

One person tried to be friends with me, and I appreciate it. If I wasn't afraid of you all hurting her if she was around me. She's too nice to deserve physical pain...let alone all the insults. If I hurt her I'm sorry. All I wanted was for someone to have a better time than me. School is hell, if everyone hates you. Hits you. Insults you. Even if you hate someone, even if they're worse than me... please. Don't do it to anyone. It made me give up. Still...I deserved it. Even my parents said I'd never amount to anything.

Enjoy Life
Goodbye
Sunset Shimmer

There was a silence. Tears are in so many eyes. Nearly all. None of them could stand the fact they'd broke someone so completely.
"The funeral will be Saturday at 3:00pm. The whole school is welcome to attend, after all there's noone else to arrange it..." Celestia states.

If course...they all go. Each brings a white lily to put on her casket. The flower of purity.

Nothing they could do would be good enough though. After all she is...and always will... be gone.

A aaaaand the end :)
Good? Bad?
