PROLUGE The cozy bubble of life burst, Sprinkling fragments around her, Overwhelming feelings enveloped her, As she began to trust. She allowed them to know her core, Beneath the sparkle and shimmer, One that enclosed a light turning dimmer, With every brunt or prize, she bore. She turned that world upside down, Of whose she was the commander, She brought upon herself un-needy tatter, Which broke through dusk and dawn. Once again, she pulled the reins, She summoned all the light she could, All the radiance she thought she should, She built a staircase of her pains, And conquered it with all too many gains. That's Natalie in a nutshell. A used to be 'keep to herself person'. She wore her heart on her shoulders and stood with a smile on her face. That was all before she let people in. They began to mean as much as family did, but then she broke. Rather 'events' broke her. One after another problem crushed on her but she never gave up on them, until one day she just did and so did they.

Friendless and timid, Guinevere is stuck in her socially anxious shadow, content to let her sister lead and live a sheltered life. Without Natalie pushing her to break out of her comfort zone, she'd be trapped in fear. The world is scary, even her own family conflicts terrify her; she needs Natalie's support. But what happens when Natalie, her big sister, her mentor and only real friend, suddenly can't be there for every moment of her life? Lola, raised to be a hardworking farmer, when all she wants is a bit of agency over her life, the freedom to do what she wants. And yet, she is perfectly willing to let Natalie handle conversations for her. For as much as she wants to be free, she wouldn't know what to do with herself, get meticulously caught up in planning the details and never end up doing anything. And Natalie, who has no personal desires, simply living in moments and finding the best in whatever is going on. Freely engaging with her friends and helping them, as she lacks her own internal drive, the self awareness to know what she wants. After a long childhood struggle with her self esteem and valuing herself, that has become what she "needs," her coping strategy with rough situations. Being complacent with what happens to her and simply accepting, with no real goals of her own, no idea that her friends are just as directionless as she is. When health complications arise for her, and her friend group is falling apart around her as she can't guide them, she'll have to ask the essential questions that she can't simply answer in a quick sentence. The questions that she has long dismissed as unimportant. Is this what she truly wants, to be solely fulfilled by everyone else depending on her for support? And where does she draw the line?
