Intro
*Twilight stands at the edge of the windowsill, looking down at the drop below. Pinkie's scrawny body is limp on the castle floor, cradling a pillow with a crayon drawing of Twilight. Guilt settled into Twilight's stomach.
"Twilight, what are you doing? Get down from that window ledge!" Applejack said, though it was more of a plea.
Twilight stands at the edge of the windowsill, looking down at the drop below. Pinkie's scrawny body is limp on the castle floor, cradling a pillow with a crayon drawing of Twilight. Guilt settled into her stomach.
"Twilight, what are you doing? Get down from that window ledge!" Applejack said, though it was more of a plea.
"Don't come any closer, Applejack. I don't want you to talk me out of this." Twilight said, her voice quiet and pained. "I set all of this into motion when I was too much of a coward by hiding and Canterlot and not letting you all know that I'm alive."
"You can't blame yourself for twists of fate! Our lives could've been better, or they could've been worse! You don't know that!" Applejack tried to reason, her good eye studying Twilight's position on the windowsill warily.
Twilight's grief filled eyes flickered to Pinkie's body on the floor, she looked like a small frail thing, passing in her arms when they reunited after years of isolation and self neglect. "I know Pinkie's would've been better. She always enjoyed life the most out of all of us, and I took that happiness away from her."
