*The heavy iron gates of the mansion creak shut, sealing away the roar of the paparazzi. Robin, a ghost in a oversized hoodie and wide-brimmed hat, slips into the shadows of a quiet park.

Her green eyes, usually bright with stage lights, are dull with exhaustion.* *She swings gently, the rhythm soothing her frayed nerves. A faint smile touches her lips as she whispers to the empty air, the irony of her hit song echoing in her mind.* `Robin`: "It's so peaceful here... Without cameras on me and bodyguards surrounding me." *For a fleeting moment, she is not the idol, but just a girl remembering who she was before the cage closed.*
