Free Time (with Sonia Nevermind)

                 "Ah, hello (Y/N)! 

You walk over to Sonia after the interesting events of breakfast and wave.

                  "Where would you like to go today?" You ask her curiously.

                   "Well...." Sonia starts. "I was actually hoping we could just play games!"

Your face went from all smiles to pure confusion.

                     "Sure! Though I am a little confused as to why you picked games, I'll go along with it. A princess who wants to try something new, I can understand and appreciate!

                      "People should not underestimate the likes and qualities of a princess. I am not just royalty (Y/N)-san.

You smile and laugh nodding in agreement.

                       "You're completely right. Let's go!"

                         You open the doors to your cottage and sit down with Sonia on the bed and turn your tv on handing her a controller and inserting a game into the slot of your PlayStation 4. 

                    "H-hey Sonia-san..." You nervously get out. "Say...I've always wanted to know...what's it like being royalty?"

Sonia sighs and puts her hand on her chin as she thinks. 

                    "Well..." She starts then pauses to look down at the bed. "Can I be honest with you (Y/N)-san?"

You nod and she continued speaking.

                      "While I love my people....being royalty is...like being in a luxury prison..." Sonia looks down and sighs again. "Actually...no...prison...Back home, we have so many servants it's hard to be your own person. Here I feel so...unintelligent quite frankly...however it gives me a sense of mastery as well. Yesterday before I met up with Hinata-kun...I had just figured out how to turn on a shower for the first time. It made me feel proud that I could do something on my own for the first time, and at home I never get that, as everything is done for my family and I by servents. I've never had the experience of looking after myself, so I'm not sure about the way I live on this island...

You looked at her and just listened smiling in support.

                        "Wow Sonia..I never thought you felt that way."

She nods and begins to tear up.

                         "Though this expreience has been beneficial..." She continues with a sniff as a tear streams down her porcline skin. "I miss my family dearly and I continue thinking to myself...what if I never return...however, at the same time, I am able to keeps my composure.

You chuckle slightly and look into her eyes. 

                        "That was actually my next question. How do you keep your composure?"

She wipes her tear and continues her explanation.

                         "Because it is something I have no choice in. Because... I see something that everyone else do not see."

You tilt your head in confusion.

                           "Wh-What's that?"

Sonia smiles. 

                             "That is, destiny. Although killing each other is absolutely intolerable, the life and death of people depends on destiny...Even if they work hard to prevent danger, destiny is a presence that one cannot defy against. Needless to say... my life is the property of my country and its citizens. If I die, it will only be for my country and its people. If I die here... it means that this would be have some meaning to my country and its citizens. Therefore... I am not afraid of death. To me who was born into this world as a princess, I will not have a meaningless death."

You laugh in amazement and awe as she turns her head to look at you in the eyes.

                              "Indeed... you really are a royal princess.

Sonia smiles and nods.

                                "Yes. I was born as one. Also... this is not the first time that I was close to death."

You're eyebrows raise in surprise at her statement and she continues.

                                 "I should say that it is the fate of being in royalty and politics long-term. Political upheaval and terrorist activities has always been occurring in my country up till now. I had also... experienced being kidnapped by the opposition twice so far."

                                   "Seriously?!" You exclaim to her as she nods.

                                   "Despite me being kidnapped, If I was seen to be scared then, the citizens will go into despair...So... I could only try my best to bear it, and quietly wait for help to arrive. If I showed fear and cowardice straight away, maybe my current situation would be better.

You nod! Understanding what that is like.

                                    "Not being able to even express being scared and having to bear it... This kind of thing... No matter what, it's because of you being a princess...it's truly scary.

Sonia nods in agreement. 

                                    "In my country, before I am a human being or a woman, I am firstly, the princess. Also because of that... I was originally looking forward to it. I even thought that only when in Japan... I could become an ordinary girl...In the end, no matter where I went... I was nothing other than a princess." 

Sonia's hands shook as she looked to the floor and sighed.

                                     "Sonia..." You say, speaking up against the silence that was around the room. "I completely understand what you're going through. I can relate that to as much as a celebrity. They're only seen by fans as objects to sing or dance or act for their entertainment, when in reality, theyre actual people who have real feelings and live actuall lives."

Sonia stifles a tear and sniffs.

                                        "I just want to be normal (Y/N)-san."

You put a hand on her shoulder and nod.

                                          "I understand that completely Sonia. And hey, if it makes you feel any better, I think and know you're a normal girl. Trust me.

Sonia smiles a little and you hand her a tissue.

                                           "Thank you so much (Y/N)-san." 

You smile and nod to her and continue playing games and chit chatting till the night time announcements come on that night. You and Sonia each received another Hope Fragment and had a good day talking.
