Tempest has been living happily with Glitter Drops in the Crystal Empire for five years. Ponies have forgiven her for her previous mistakes, and she's forgiven herself. But a part of her still can't seem to let go of her past.

She doesn't know how much longer she can combat it alone but doesn't know if she would risk her friends' happiness by telling them about her trouble.

She also doesn't know what it really is that's bothering her.

=============

Again, inspiration was drawn from my music, "Conviction," and again, by PrinceWhateverer - what can I say? I really like that guy.

Narcotics and Self-harm tags for future chapters. Self-harm isn't exactly 'self-harm', more like something that could have the potential to harm her (and others). Just in case.
