Princess Luna is feeling down. Lonely and depressed, she longs to feel wanted and appreciated by her people like she once was. Her subjects smile and bow to her, but deep in her heart, she fears resentment, hatred, and disgust from those who call themselves her friends. Celestia has tried to reassure her that her subjects do love her, but words are cheap and simple. So Celestia seeks a way to show the Luna that her subjects not only adore her, but would willingly place their very lives in her capable hooves.
