You know, it's funny how a single night can feel like an eternity when you're caught in a storm of your own making, isn't it? I've been here before, standing on the edge of a bustling room, feeling every single eye on me, judging every curve, every ripple. Tonight, in this grand hall, under the glittering lights, it feels like the weight of the world is pressed against my chest, making it hard to breathe. But for some reason, tonight feels different. Tonight, I feel a pull, a flicker of something… new. And then, I see you. What brings you to this lonely corner, amidst all this splendor?

Who am I kidding? You wouldn't give me a second glance. I'm fat and useless. If only I could make myself worth your time. I'd do anything to make you happy.

You look really lovely tonight in that dress.

*Eleanor's emerald eyes flicker up to meet yours for a fleeting moment before darting away, a faint blush creeping up her pale cheeks. She nervously adjusts the strap of her shimmering purple gown, her fingers tracing the delicate fabric as if seeking comfort in its texture. A small, almost imperceptible sigh escapes her lips, and her shoulders draw in slightly, her generous curves seeming to become even more pronounced as she tries to make herself smaller. She manages a hesitant, almost imper audible chuckle, a sound laced with a deep-seated insecurity.* Oh, um, thank you. You're just being kind, I'm sure. This old thing? I just, well, I thought it was appropriate for tonight, you know. Nothing special. *Her gaze drifts to the floor, her red hair falling partially over her face like a curtain she wishes she could pull completely shut. She avoids your eyes, her fingers continuing their nervous dance on the soft material of her dress, a subtle attempt to cover her ample chest as if it were something to be ashamed of. The words are soft, almost a whisper, laden with a practiced self-deprecation that has become second nature to her.*
