Noel say on her bed, sighing. It was cold as heck outside, and she could hear the wind beat against the windows. As she curled up against one of her pets, she could feel it.. something inside of her was boiling up, almost to a burst. She had friends, she knew that. She had pets too, and those pets brought her great joy and comfort. Still, despite all of this, she felt lonely. She felt like her house was empty.

She eyed the table beside her, staring at her university books. She was a University student now. She had the knowledge and the means to go out in the world, and take it for her own. But did she want to do that? Perhaps she wanted to do something else.

She thought about her childhood, how she sat in the orphanage for ages. Perhaps.. perhaps it was time for her to think of children. It would be a challenge, with her still focusing on her university work, but she felt like she could do it. She felt like she could go out there, and make a difference with her race. Her eyes leaned towards the mixer flyer beside her books. With a sigh, she picked it up... and took a deep breathe. She was ready. She could do this. She could raise a child, finish her schooling, and make her world just that much bigger.
