[ Rose is too. After working for a few A-list names, she stopped being quite as starstruck but... She was still more a support role than anything else. Her only attempt to take the stage herself had ended abysmally. It didn't make her inclined to try again anytime soon.

But she gets attention in other ways. A lot of times, Rose enjoys playing the part of the jester. She doesn't mind people laughing with or at her, really; laughter is so much better than fear, after all. Making people smile helps her believe she's not the monster they tried to make her out to be. The 'monster' Mandy might someday see.]

I know what you mean, [ she hums in agreement.] I was caged for a long time myself, so. [ Literally, but also metaphorically.] Guess that's why I have trouble now with cages and commitment and... settling. It's actually been a little hard, living in Eudio and now here.

[ Sometimes, she just wants to leave it all behind. Even for the ways its enriched her life, she admits that it's not always easy.]
