I’m not. I know I’m not. I’m strong enough at a lot of things— I can carry all the heavy groceries home, I can lift my classmates when we do ballet together, I can carry mountains of props, I can cut down everyone in my way no matter how many times it takes and win every duel over and over again in order to get what I want! But I’m not strong enough to kill or hurt people!
[ And that’s when her cheery facade finally weakens and she starts to get emotional, with tears in her eyes. ]
And it’s eating away at me! Because I want to protect everyone! I can give up my repeat performance if I have to for everyone else’s sake, but I can’t hurt anyone! I can’t even stand the thought! I don’t even like the idea of hurting the Phantom much less my friends and everyone who’s been so nice to me!
And so I’m stuck. Knowing I could do something if I wanted to, but knowing I would have to hurt everyone before even attempting to save them. And I can’t. I just can’t.
