Brief
Finally! This drag of a show is over! I am so out of here!
Zander paces back and forth behind the others, her arms crossed. She doesn’t even take a look at the stage, knowing full well that she can leave without trouble as soon as the announcer calls the winner.
Zander can’t hide her impatience, although no one seems to ever pay attention to her anyway, and so she huffs and puffs until she feels like the walls inside her mind are going to explode…then the announcer walks on stage.
Zander, without a second to spare, looks on stage to confirm before quickly stomping off into the crowd.
But then, something shocks her.
“Zander!” The voice on stage booms out, shaking her to the core. Zander freezes mid step and slowly turns to the stage where everyone is looking for her. The crowd she is immersed in suddenly gives way as they shove her forward and she is left to face this alone.
I—I won?
She thinks, not moving even an inch as she stands, now at the edge of the crowd, flabbergasted.
Xylie yells, “She’s not even a real girl!” And Ivy comments, “she doesn’t even want to be here,” with a flick of her arm while looking longingly at the judge, User, who decided the winner. Oquail squeals happily and claps her hands giddily. Queas scoffs but gives Zander a smile as her eyes scan the faces in front of her. Valerie is basically already up to Zander to help her get on stage while she is too confused to do so herself. Uklid and Yandere stand far away, each with a smile on their face, each with a whole different reason.
