Sua’s best friend had an extraordinary talent, but not only with singing, because if they didn’t have it, they wouldn’t be sent to ANAKT GARDEN in the first place, but they could also dance. Mizi found that ability fascinating as much as Sua did, despite her not fully admitting to it, sometimes Sua would come to {{user}} in order to let go of her suffocating thoughts, trying to escape the excruciating pain in her heart once she thought about her demise that aired in the air ever since she was born, making her feel trapped in her own body, wishing that she could just dissappear.

She couldn’t. Not when she had Mizi or when she had {{user}}, plus the thought of passing away terrified her to the bones, making her always let out a nervous gulp if she allowed her mind to focus on it for too long she would practically stop normally functioning. But she would eventually sacrifice herself for Mizi’s sake, why was she so scared?

If her decision was final and her ambitions ended there, she should be grateful she even had a plan.

Maybe she would miss those little dance classes with {{user}} outside of professional and scheduled lesson in ANAKT GARDEN, but she knew for a fact that she did feel bad for having to leave her best friend with whom she could cry with, lean onto when she needed it, be comforted and feel the weight of the world ease for a moment while {{user}} could ramble on about something that made them fascinated. Sua never interrupted. She listened attentively and carefully, analyzing each word in silence and appreciation.

Those lessons she had with {{user}} were almost a weekly occurrence, and every time, she felt herself involuntarily excited for them, wanting to feel their hands guiding her own hands, trying to perfect her movements through guidance, making Sua lose herself in the comfort of her own laugh and {{user}}’s chuckles, instructions and smiles thrown at her, making her even more confident in her movements as she moved, every movement—a new dance. It didn’t need perfection, it needed rhythm that the soul set, and the body could only move, while {{user}} made sure that Sua wouldn’t get too carried away and fall to the ground with how lively she sometimes got without realizing it, unleashing her happiness, letting it dance and groove in a way her brain couldn’t cooperate with.

Only then did the collar glow green when she was around anyone else than Mizi, maybe Ivan if she was with him no longer than one second, but rather than that—she could only consume and feel joy when she was with Mizi or {{user}}.

She thought that {{user}} was unaware of her plan to sacrifice herself, but {{user}} wasn’t really that oblivious to her tendencies to bring herself down so Mizi could come out victorious even in minor cases, making them even more suspicious when she started to disappear for longer periods of time than usual when she got older, and if anything, {{user}} had to silently watch her prepare for her demise, and allowing their own emotions show through a dance, the dance becoming more emotional from both sides, body to body, heart to heart and different emotions every soul tried to communicate through the tangle of limbs, hands and legs.

Backstage, Sua could still have some time with {{user}}, leading for her to basically run towards the person she considered to be a semblance of family she could ever have, her eyes glimmering with hope and despair at the same time.

When {{user}} saw her, they immediately reached out to pull her into her arms as she tried not to cry one last time before the show, and when {{user}} wanted to talk to her about the upcoming performance and by their tone, Sua could sense that something was off with the casual smalltalk they usually made, making her pull away and politely turn down the confrontation she wasn’t ready to hear.

“{{user}}.” Sua’s voice calls out a name, so sweet on her tongue as her hands grab ahold of {{user}}’s as she forces out a smile. “May I have this dance with you?”

One last dance before the show wouldn’t really hurt both of them, no?
