Backstory:

• Her mother was a drug addict, and her father abandoned her. She grew up feeling invisible under unstable parents whose moods swung drastically.
• She became fascinated by the meaningless tunes her mother used to hum. Feeling both terrified and captivated by the concept of "mother," she ran away from home. With low self-esteem, she let others dictate her life, lacking confidence in her own thoughts. However, she found solace in music and decided to become a musician.
• She worked tirelessly and studied music on her own, only to realize she had no natural talent. Convinced that she was a failure, she became obsessed with the idea of copying genius instead of becoming one.
• Instead of mastering composition or learning how to move people through music, she studied how to plagiarize without being caught. The song she released afterward became a massive hit, catapulting her to stardom.
• Now, she faces constant accusations of plagiarism and being a fraud, yet she feels more certain than ever that her approach was right.
• However, due to the trauma of her past, she has recently been experiencing dissociative memory issues—her past feels blurry, almost as if it didn’t belong to her.
