All my successes have been my own
Authentic connections are within my grasp
I know what the truth is
Everypony loves me
I got better without help
Nopony needs to be concerned about me
Anypony who thought I needed help could see past my mask
I have never hurt myself on purpose
I know who I am
I am not beyond help I do not need

Is this a decent story, or just a fun experiment? Let me know in the comments. This was an old idea that I'd had lying around for years. I was never convinced it would work, but I finally managed to get myself to draft a few convincing bits. This was an adventure to see how little I could tell a story with, even in contrast to the prequel and more lore-heavy stories I've written from the eras in each segment.
