--Miihi POV--
I was surprised at first...
I thought that was really harsh because some of those girls couldn't help being tall. Starving yourself was normalized. Some trainees were anorexic or bulimic, and many of the girls didn't have periods.
It was common to pass out from exhaustion. Often we had to help carry unconscious trainees back to the dorms.
I passed out twice during dance practice, probably because I was dehydrated or hadn't eaten enough. I woke up in bed not knowing how I got there.
The attitude among the trainees after that was like, "Good for her! She wants it so much!" Looking back on it now, I think it was really disgusting.
I found that I didn't have good friends there, everyone was more like a colleague.
The environment was way too tense and competitive to forge real friendships.
The stressful atmosphere was heightened by the monthly showcase events. Each trainee would perform in front of everyone and be evaluated by the instructors.
