Vivian was so tired. Between evening patrols not quite every night, but often enough, taking care of her grandparents, and work? She was exhausted. Thankfully her brother could help sometimes, but he had a pregnant wife to worry about, she didn't want to add more to his plate than she needed to.

Maybe she should've stayed in New York. If she'd stayed in New York this whole... senshi business wouldn't have been put upon her. If she'd stayed in New York she could spend all her time at the studio. Training. Rehearsing. Getting closer with colleagues. Instead she joined the company and not even three years in she had to take a hiatus to come to this city.

Vivian let out a heavy sigh as she leaned down and laid her head down on the table. She'd chosen to spend her day off checking out this cafe she'd heard had good cakes, and she wanted to see if any of it could be inspiring to her. And hey, to their credit it was really good and really pretty! But she was just so tired. She lazily unlocked her phone to open up the video album and begin scrolling through it, quietly playing videos that had been sent to her from friends in New York. Well wishes, I'll miss you's, come back soons, typical things you'd expect with a temporary goodbye. Videos captured in Times Square, on Broadway, Central Park, in the company studio. All places she missed already.

If only Nan and Papa didn't need her...
