Sonata: (Exits)

Manager: Good work out there Sonata

Sonata: ( ignores and continues to walk to the dressing room)

Stylist: What's wrong with Sonata manager?

Manager: I guess she failed to perform that legendary jump again.

Stylist: We don't even know if that jump even exists. Why does she keep on pushing?

....

(And the dressing room)

Sonata: What?!(slaming her hands unto the table) What was missing!!! I DID EVERYTHING I COULD DO! WHAT IS MISSING FROM MY JUMPS! At this rate, I'm not worth being a skating queen if I can't even perform that jump.

(Manager suddenly comes in the room)

Manager: DO YOU REALLY WANT TO PERFORM THAT JUMP SONATA! WE DON'T EVEN KNOW IF THAT EXISTS! STOP FEEDING YOUR MIND WITH SUCH HALLUCINATIONS!

Sonata: IF THAT WAS JUST SUCH HALLUCINATIONS WHY DID IT FEEL SO REAL! I WOULDN'T HAVE GONE THIS FAR IF IT WASN'T FOR THAT JUMP!... I've been ice skating my whole life and I'm not lying when I say that I saw this magic place when I was once practising..

Manager:( Slaps her in the face ) Wake up Sonata. This isn't a dream.

Sonata : One day. I'll prove to you that what I saw wasn't hallucinations. (Leaves the room)
