12th New Dream [Visual]

[ponycure_dream]

Whoof... It's taking longer than expected, but my shop's coming along nicely! There's still work to be done, but when it's really done, I can start selling many of the Apple Family's stuff here and maybe a few other things, too!

If there's something you want, let me know!

[Locked to Cure Item holders, so surprise her if she doesn't know it.]

Oh, before I forget, I've added a spot upstairs so we can hang out. L-like a base or something! We're all Cures so, we need to stick together one way or another... Like a team.

I-if you want to visit now, I wouldn't mind it at all!

Nozomi.

Please, calm down.

But... I...

I hate this! I hate what I am! I hate it! I want my life!

[she's so distraught and confused by it all.]

[Ah, its hard to hear this. Not just because only a few days ago, they'd been partners taking down a crime ring.]

You shouldn't. You shouldn't hate yourself. If I've learned anything, its that hating yourself won't help you to solve what's in front of you. And even then...you shouldn't hate who and what you are, and what you have.

I-I'm sorry...! [And she lets out a pained sob.]

I tried for so long not to worry anyone... all I wanted to do was wake up and find out that everything in Mayfield was just a bad dream! I didn't want anyone to worry, especially after what Twilight went through!

It's not that I hate who I am, it's I hate what I am and the fact that I'll never have my life again!

Hey. Nozomi, listen to me for a moment.

Nopony would blame you for being upset about what happened to you, and nopony would be ashamed of you if you admitted your fears. And those are big fears. Those things, you shouldn't have to keep to yourself and be burdened by them alone, you know?

[Says the girl who keeps her identity secret for fear of getting others hurt as collateral damage and also because of underlying distrust issues because sailor soldiers can be a bit territorial with their princesses. But that's all besides the point, right?]

Sometimes you can only look around and accept that the bad things happened, since the past...that can't be changed. But you can't let them overwhelm you. Because then you won't get the chance to take up your own special identity and make your own life. And...then you really won't have a future.

[Nozomi listened to what Venus had to say, trying to make sense combined with her muddled feelings. Despite this, she's right. She does need to accept this to help move on, but...]

It's too much, I... I can't do it on my own...

But, that's why we're here, right? That's why you've got your friends and allies! They can help you with getting through this. They won't turn you away, I'm certain of it!

Besides, I can't be the only one who's been talking to you about this. At least, I'd hope not!

Y...you're right... th-there are others... m-my friends.

My friends... [she can't help but sniffle... and smile.]

That's the spirit!

[She smiles back.]
