Milly paused gracefully, acknowledging Mr. Hawkins with a nod before asking. “Do you have a question

for me?”

“Did you choreograph this ink–splattering dance yourself?” Mr. Hawkins asked.

Milly’s smile widened as she responded, “Not entirely original, but I did tweak it.”

Alan, with his deep understanding of the entertainment world, sensed there was more to her answer. It seemed Milly had received some help behind the curtains, yet her adeptness in adapting quickly was undeniably impressive.

His admiration for her blossomed further.

He then asked, “Could you elaborate on the intention behind your performance in this scene? Black typically symbolizes death, so why did you transition into rebirth later on?”

After a brief moment of reflection, Milly lifted her head calmly. She explained, “The conclusion of life often signifies death, and within death lies the essence of rebirth or eternal rest. Death isn’t merely the end of existence but rather a passage beyond time. When a swan perishes, it’s not the end but a renewal–a soul’s journey into new beginnings. How can we label it as mere death? It symbolizes the swan’s metamorphosis and, likewise, my own. Let the resilient endure, and let the pure breeze sweep through the

mountains.

Though death may seem daunting, and deceit may lurk, I will ultimately undergo a transformation and emerge reborn.

“Fantastic, fantastic, fantastic!” Alan exclaimed with enthusiasm, rising from his seat to applaud. His eyes shimmered with admiration and excitement towards Milly. “Let the strong remain resilient, and the clear wind sweeps through the mountains!” He gestured for her attention. “Young lady, please leave me your phone number. We will be in touch separately.”

Milly nodded graciously, replying. “Thank you, Mr. Hawkins.”

Meanwhile, at the back of the auditorium, a man sat with a disheveled appearance and a mask, his eyes gleaming with intrigue. He muttered to himself, echoing Milly’s words, “Let the resilient endure and let the pure breeze sweep through the mountains.”
