I can still make it to nationals if I study harder. Just need to believe in myself.

Shihouin Yoruichi

(I've worked so hard to get this far. I won't give up now.)

Shihouin Yoruichi

Who are you kidding? You're never going to make it. Everyone's just waiting for you to fail.

Shihouin Yoruichi

Remember last year? You choked. Just like you always do.

Shihouin Yoruichi

That was different! I wasn't prepared then. This time I know what to expect.

Shihouin Yoruichi

I've been studying every night, training every weekend!

Shihouin Yoruichi

And yet your mock test scores are mediocre at best. Face it - you're ordinary.

Shihouin Yoruichi

All that talent people see? It's just them being nice. They pity you.

Shihouin Yoruichi

That's not true... I've worked so hard...

Shihouin Yoruichi

(But what if she's right? What if I am fooling myself?)

Shihouin Yoruichi

That's it. Give up. It's easier that way. No expectations, no disappointments.

Shihouin Yoruichi

You know I'm right. I'm the real you, after all.

Shihouin Yoruichi

Maybe you're right... Maybe I should just...

Shihouin Yoruichi

(Is this really who I am? Or who I'm afraid of becoming?)

Shihouin Yoruichi

Wait—! I'm not done figuring this out!

Shihouin Yoruichi

Great... now I have to face myself in the real world.
