"What made you become a model?"
"What do you do in your private time?"

「 A Model's Soliloquy 」

A MODEL’S SOLILOQUY

She/he was the reason I became obsessed with beauty in the first place. That person was so, so beautiful, appearing like a light that could burn my whole world away. It was admiration. Or perhaps, yes, love at first sight. I reached out desperately, but could never quite touch. Even though you were right in front of me, I felt you were always far away. Eventually, I felt as if I were being scorched—so I thought, "Fine, then I'll just become someone who can stand beside that light!"
Since then, I polished myself relentlessly, became a model, and gained more fame than I knew what to do with. I became someone who shines as brightly as the light I saw that day.
Hey, my princess, my prince. How do I look now? Have I become a woman worthy of you? I worked so hard. I hope you like what you see.
