My spirit hovered above, watching as Ruby signed a forgiveness letter pardoning the person who killed me.
I saw Ruby thriving, using her tragic yet strong persona to launch a career in the entertainment industry.
She lived in a mansion, drove a luxury car, and dumped my ashes into a dirty canal.
Her face twisted into a cruel smile. "Mom, this is what you get for controlling me.
"Sure, you're dead now, but I lost my youth and freedom! You brought this on yourself!"
Fine. So this is the daughter I loved my whole life!
Now that I have a second chance, I'll never pour my heart into raising this ungrateful child again.
I'll be the one to sever this mother-daughter bond myself!
I thought to myself as I gently said to Ruby, "Alright."

Before Ruby could react, I called Hailey from the training center.
"Hi, Ms. Hall. Sorry, there's been some issues at home, so Ruby won't be continuing her lessons with you.
"Yes, Ruby said she doesn't like dancing anymore. She even mentioned... you know, suicide. I don't want to push her...
"Also, you were a bit hard on her. Gaining just seven pounds, then making her do all those jumping jacks... It made her resentful.
"Thanks for understanding."
