“Ya see? That’s looking up to the future!” Shimmer said proudly. “And always remember, what are you gonna do if someone tells you your dream is stupid and you shouldn’t do it?!”
“I’ll.. um.. ignore them!”
“Y-Yeah! ‘Cause what they think, uh, doesn’t matter as long as it’s not hurting a-anyone else and I’m happy! … Unless they’re Nero, c-cause what he thinks is really …”
She realized she was going in a loop.
“… I’m g-gonna keep doing this no matter how abnormal I am.”
That was a bit of a self-destructive way to end the loop and get the subject off Nero.
Shimmer placed a hand on Savannah’s shoulder again and said, “I want you to remember somethin’ kid. It’s the biggest lie anyone’s ever gonna tell you: "It’s not that easy. None of it is.” It’s how they get you to give up. They’ll say, “It’s not that easy, Savannah”. And it’s a lie they’re gonna tell you over and over and over again. You wanna know why it’s a lie? You wanna know the truth?“
"Truth is that it is that easy. That if you just do the thing that they tell you that can’t do, then it’s done. And you realise it is that simple… And that it always was. You follow me kid?”
