She throws herself out on the streets once again, her eyes darting rapidly from one place to the next in a state of panic.

What am I to do,
Where am I to go?
I stand here broken,
More confused and lost
Than I'd ever been
Before.

You could return.

Out of the question.
I can't do that,
I...

Return, and fight for your right to a happy life.

What do I do?
Listen to the voice,
Take its advice,
I don't know...

Why not? It's what you "wanted", no?

A happy life
For me,
Do I really still have
A chance?

My, your resolve has become so weak...

Even I am afraid to mess around, lest I should break it...

The girl lets out a heavy sigh, lazily making her way over to a nearby bench and taking a seat.

The sun's rays can no longer reach her.

A strange shade
Encompasses the area
Around me.
Could it be the shadow
Of my long gone hope
Coming to haunt me,
After its death?
