"So what about you? Aren't you a bit upset?" Vania asked.
"A little, I suppose, since I was very confident at the time, but the answer didn't come as a sudden shock, at least I already knew it in advance."
Once you're mentally prepared for something, everything becomes less exciting because you know the higher your expectations, the greater your disappointment. So when Lola finally got the result, she felt relieved deep down.
Vania expressed admiration for Lola's self-regulation and consolation.
"I was thinking of comforting you, but since you're so open-minded, my comfort seems unnecessary. Like you said, your goal is still there, and I'll fight with you again next year."
Lola agreed.
Just as Vania seemed to have finished talking, she added, "I almost forgot to mention, the award ceremony is in the middle of next month. Although you weren't nominated, the film won awards, so you have to attend. The organizer's invitation has already been sent."
