light: what makes you tick?
“it’s balle—” the feeling of being tongue-tied is not new. after all, bitna’s never been any good at lying. amazingly, as she comes to learn from this truth serum, she’s even worse at being honest with herself. but in truth, bitna likes living in a lie, in this made up world in her head where everything always goes the way she means it to. where everything that doesn’t has an excuse made up and already dressed in a pretty bow. that is, ready for all to meet, to consume. “it’s…” well, bitna, what is it? what is it about ballet that made it seem like such an obvious answer, even when it’s wrong? “applause.” here it is. “adoration.” the truth. “acceptance.” oh, it is such a dishonour to meet you.
