Who could possibly know a character as well as the story's author? Probably the character themself. In a world where characters are grossly misrepresented, and truth is twisted, who can say what is real? Hailee Evans is a bright young teenager who is controlled by a subpar and cliche author. She despises the character she is forced to be and hates the struggle of never knowing what is true. Her only escape is in between the author's scenes, where she is allowed control over her decisions and actions. "The light wavers, almost imperceptibly, becoming colder, harsher. The Change. It's subtle, but Hailee has trained her eyes to spot it. It's how she tells the difference between her two realities. One is perfect and shiny, without pain or loss, and lacking real growth and satisfaction, too. Simultaneously, it is both bland and overstimulating. In that reality, the author quite literally holds the pen. Shackled characters in a novel, they could only do what is expected of them. It is physically impossible to counter the author. Everything is predetermined, and their thoughts are guided. The second existence occurs between the author's written scenes. There exists the freedom and responsibility of self-autonomy. They could choose who they are, who they want to be. It's far from perfect. Regardless, it is unclear if free will exists at all. Hailee sometimes wonders which one she prefers."
