"Reality is the ability to exist in one's  mind"
Hard. Cold. Emotionless. This is what Emily Stark was. This is how she had to be. This is how she got paid. She had to be this way, it was required in the world of hers. A world where love was forbidden. 
 Emily Starks was a reporter. She talked about events, heartbreaking events that even the strongest person would cry about. And she did. But in the safety and loneliness of her studio apartment. All she wanted was to scream at the unfeeling people she met everyday. What was the point? What was the point to narrate these events back to those who lost something or someone they loved? Was it to hurt them more? To make them examples? Examples of what happens when you love? Emily wanted to breakdown and ruin the perfect image she held. But in a society where your image is most important, you can't afford to breakdown. You can't afford to feel. You can't afford happiness.
