[ Today you step out of the elevators and into the game room to find yourselves in an airy Grand Ballroom. Maybe, if you've been here long enough--you might recognize this room?

At the front of the room is a buffet table featuring finger sandwiches, petit fours, and savory pastries as well as a variety of small desserts complemented by bottoms-up turned teacups and steaming hot kettles set up for self-serve. From nowhere to be seen comes the sound of instruments playing. Up above, tethered to the ceiling, are what appear to be long curtains. …

The small, square tables feature place cards that as of yet are mysteriously empty, but other than that--there is nothing on the table. Those who have walked in and might prefer to walk out again will find they are mysteriously barred from exiting…. ]

[POUTS ANYWAY]

It is too late...though it is surprising even to me at all of the things I want...but not more than you guys of course.

It's not surprising at all.

Isn't your mind usually full of thinking about what other people want or need?

Exactly.

So it's not surprising you'd have so much. You've be storing them all up for months now.

And why is that?

Would you say it was wrong if someone else wanted that much?

Hmm . . . I grew up being told I was not allowed to have anything or enjoy anything. And yet I still had a lot more than everyone else in the kingdom did.

So it feels bad taking so much when other people could have much more.

But what on your list takes away from other people?

The majority are not material things.

Because I should focus on other people's wants instead. Idols should help other people first.

How about we take this list and pin the more generic wants to the fridge back at the dorm.

You might find someone who wants the exact same thing.

So then you don't have to feel selfish.

Fine.

I enjoy carrying you. And that we are on the same unit. And that you've helped Shogun come out of his shell. That you're finding your way in the world and doing what you want instead of what you think others want you to do.

You and those you associate with will be better for it.

And you'll finally be free of the shackles of your past once you figure out what you want.

So maybe it's time to re-evaluate your end game.

Remember. No regrets.

Especially for what could have been if you just went for it.
