Stella Grace couldn't sleep so she watched videos all night instead.
She watched all kinds of fun variety shows. She also watched stories about coming-of-age pains. Finally, she watched a movie.
The movie was about the legendary Chinese warrior, Hua Mulan.
Mulan went through all kinds of wars for twelve years. During that time, she lost a lot of friends to the war.
She fought alongside a prince, and they won.
Eventually, for the sake of peace, the prince married a princess and became the emperor.
Hua Mulan never married for the rest of her life.
After watching that movie, Stella felt even more pain. She sat on her bed and silently stared into space.
She was thinking about her future, thinking about what she should do, thinking about how good it would be if she could forget everything and start a new life.
In the morning, she brushed her teeth and washed her face. There were dark circles under her eyes.
