"I used to dream of becoming an idol because I liked performing in front of a crowd, but now that I'm all grown up, it doesn't appeal to me as much."

"You would have been really famous if you became an idol, Layla," Ivy said.

"You can take your time to figure it out. You are still young."

"I don't think I'm that young, though."
