She can't believe it! No one seems to notice anything anymore. Can't they see her falling? Yet they do nothing! She's even tried talking to them, and nothing happens. Maybe she's not loud enough? Maybe all the other voices are too loud.

Is she the only one who feels this way? Hopefully not, but it's hard to imagine anyone else feeling this way. Even if it's a little bit, she can feel herself sinking in again.

Her eyes are often red from lack of sleep, and from crying so often. Maybe she should pretend to be fine, or just scream at them all to listen. Screaming helps her feel better, being loud makes her feel strong. Not everyone seems to feel the same way, though, and there's almost nowhere she can go to be as loud as she wants.

She's sinking in again, falling. It's only a little bit, but... it's still scary. It should be easier to pull herself back out, but what if it's not? What if she goes back to where she was before and all her hard work is undone?
