@BILL.

Lotusheart twiched her whiskers, almost angrily.
"But you don't know me. There's no point in trying to be happy when you know you'll never be happy. I'm not going to make any friends. I'm not going to be important. I'm not going to become leader or even deputy. I'll never be satisfied with myself. You're right, I should continue to do my best, but that doesn't solve my problem. I'm not the main character of the story, I'm just in the background. What good is doing your best when your best is insignificant. If you leave, even now, cats are going to be devastated. If I leave, the few cats i could call friends would forget about it in a day or so!"
