I was the weak point in the collaborations.

[ Which had been so as she, unlike Verso, had not focused on music alone. So it is natural that he had been better. Clea understands that, but an objective assessment would nonetheless admit her craft is lacking.

It is frustrating. Clea does love music: Not the way Verso does, focused and all consuming, but as a process. Singing, the harp, and dancing allow for her to experience the music in such different ways she could never choose one alone. Any more than she could only Paint or sculpt. And yet there is never enough time. Even when she uses her practice Canvas to forego sleep and stretch out time, there's never enough for everything.

A minute she spends dancing is a minute she does not Paint. A minute she Paints is a minute she does not sing.

Her limitations have always filled her with despair, and her awareness of them is especially keen now.]


Is this a trick? You tell me to go with full knowledge I will hate it?
