“Ah, I get it.


    Sh is embodying a swan with a broken neck.


    She was cast aside, scorned, and forsaken by the others.


    Overwhelmed with sorrow, rage, and despair, she plucks at her feathers and retreats into the shadows of a cave.


    But then, a sliver of light catches her eye, and she chases it.


    She stumbles time and again, yet each time she rises.


    Under the sun, her feathers grow lush once more, and she lifts her graceful neck, rising from the ashes again.


    ”


    “No, Sh isn’t just portraying a swan.


    She’s mirroring her own life.


    ”


    “The emotion is palpable.


    How many trials must she have endured to find such strength to rise every time?”


    “Sh’s act in really inspiring.


    Let it be a reminder to all watching.


    Never lose hope.


    The longest night will end, and the sun shall rise again.


    ”


    The performance ends as the swan spreads its wings and soars.


    Comments filled the screen.


    “Sh, you’ve stolen my heart.


    ”


    “Sh’s performance is more than a portrayal of a swan.


    Without a word, without props, her stunning performance touches the soul.


    ”


    “That’s what true acting is.


    ”


    The crowd erupted in cheers, this time


    for Sh alone.


    Their conviction was unanimous.Material ? N?velDrama.Org.


    The three judges, previously influenced by Jayleen, now felt a sting of guilt.


    The thought of voting for Kristy again made them uneasy.


    Watching Sh on stage, Kristy pointed and yelled in fury, “Sh’s cheating with her performance.


    She’s just fishing for pity by drawing on her own life.


    ”


    “But her role is that of a swan,” a judge chimed in.


    “She’s… She’s using the swan as a symbol for her own story.


    ”


    Robert nced at Kristy and remarked, “You’re free to interpret this any way you please.


    To each their own, as they say about Hamlet.


    But in truth, she’s only acting as a swan.


    ”


    “But…” Kristy was at a loss for words, slumping into the chair, her spirits sinking.


    Jayleen, unable toe to terms with what had transpired, stood frozen, silent.


    Ruby then addressed the crowd, “Since the audience gets to pick their favorite for the lead role, why not let them vote on this scene? We should stay out of it.


    ”


    Vincent nodded in agreement.


    After shutting down those paid voters, the voting was clean, a true reflection of public opinion.


    Stepping onto the stage, Vincent announced to the live stream audience, “We’re handing this special vote over to you.


    The judges will step back.


    Cast your vote for your preferred leadingdy.


    ”


    No sooner had the voting begun than Sh’s numbers surged, leaving Kristy’s far behind.


    “Sh is the true star for me.


    ”


    “Why aren’t Kristy’s fans showing up? They seemed so confident before.
