you grew up having to work for what you wanted. that was no lie. to get ballet lessons, you had to work extra shifts. to get pointe shoes, you had to even consider sex work with how expensive they were.
point is : you didn't get stuff handed to you.
it was either struggle or nothing.
so, when you finally got the spotlight you deserved despite being a person of color, you were overjoyed! using your talents to make people happy and smile - but ... that joy didn't last very long.
could you ever get back on your feet ( not literally ... obviously ), doing what you love? or was all that hard labor just .... for nothing?

Levi's life was more than just sad, it was empty too. no family but a long distance niece, working 9 to 7 as a licensed therapist, listening to people talk and talk and 𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐤 about stuff he honestly didn't give a damn about yet had to pretend he did, and then go back home, have some tea, and sleep. that was it.
so when he had learned he had a .... special case on his hands going forward, he didn't pay much mind to it.
until he saw up close what said case had been through.
does he really care, though? or is it just getting a hope up that was destined to fall once more?
