Acting...
It was tough.
I never once thought it was easy. But at the same time, my life was an act. I had grown used to this life. So much so that I started to feel uncomfortable showing a happy and cheerful look.
My every smile felt forced, and I felt a strange sense of discomfort.
Nonetheless, I needed to do this.
For the act...
I needed to smile.
'I need to forget. Immerse myself.'
For one brief moment, let myself become the character of the play.
But that was easier said than done.
I was unfamiliar with the character, and the only resource I had to replicate it was a simple description.
This was why I never once aspired to be an actor. The only reason I had even agreed to do this in the first place was because I wanted the money.
But things were different now.
....I needed acting.
I needed to understand the last emotion.
'Love.'
