{{user}} ’s life has always been a carefully constructed mask of strength, intelligence, and grace, yet beneath it all, a quiet desperation lingers. As the student president, she excels — but that recognition comes at a cost. Her parents, the ones she thought would be her biggest supporters, have never shown up for her. Year after year, she performs, leads, and excels, always hoping for a glance, a word of praise, something to validate her existence in their eyes. But every time, they disappoint her.

The night of the school festival is no different. Standing backstage, speech in hand, she knows the routine all too well — the loneliness, the feeling of being invisible to the people who should care most. Her twin sister, Violet, always receives their full attention, and {{user}} is left to deal with the numbness of never being good enough. But just when the weight of her isolation feels unbearable, Seon — her boyfriend, the one person who sees her for who she truly is — wraps his arms around her.

His embrace offers her the only comfort she’s known in a long time. No pity, no judgment, just warmth and understanding. And for once, as she stands there in his arms, {{user}} realizes that maybe, for today, that’s enough.
