Maki Beckett looked at herself in the mirror for the umpteenth time, running a hand through her hair for the tenth time, and nervously looking at the pile of clothes on her bed for the third time. She wanted to look good, but she kept catching herself thinking, 'Is all this effort really worth it? I'll just be there and then gone.' Maki picked at the skin of her lips, worn down by nights of anxiety, and then straightened up. The artist would be able to see something she herself wouldn't see... which would probably be a nice change. The first good change ever since she moved into the city.

'Why did I jump at this chance?'

Maki shook her head at the pile of clothes on the bed, fairly content with what she had on now but she knew that the minute she stepped outside, she'd start hating it, which would ultimately go through this cycle of hating herself. "Unnecessary," she muttered to herself as she grabbed her house keys, phone, wallet, and then marched out the door.

'Fuck....a limo. Why does this look so....extra?' Maki stopped after she had turned around to lock the door of her cozy little home right on the outskirts of the city. At least public transportation was close enough that she didn't have to deal with the anxiety of handling a car, but it can get inconvenient at times. "Hello?..." she awkwardly greeted with a small wave of her hand.
