the answer to this question is an obvious one. not a single doubt swims in eira’s mind as her answer comes to her as quickly as her heart beats. and its with a clear lack of doubt and such a finality with which she speaks, without a trace of hesitation, the words: "i'd have been a ballerina". there truly couldn't have been anything else in the cards for her, as the world of dance had been ingrained in her since the day she could walk. a life of dance was the only life she’d ever known and it is the sole source of her passion and her talents and if ever there existed a universe in which eira did not dance, then it was truly no real universe at all. the idol path hadn’t even been something she’d foreseen for herself, not until just two years prior when she’d made the decision to leave her ballet career in the dust. she knows that surely if she hadn’t made that choice, she’d still be doing that today; twirling, pirouette after pirouette on a stage illuminated by spotlights nowhere near as bright as the ones she’d found herself under during the recent promotions of her group’s debut. just a few weeks ago, to even think back on what could have been had caused her much more grief than anything else but for some reason now, it brings nothing but a feeling of contentment, if only for a moment. for once, it appears to eira that she’s made the right decision for herself. she hasn’t felt truly lonely in quite some time, not like she had been when all her days were spent in pointe shoes.
