Daisy's Eclipse and Light
Daisy's Eclipse and Light
The sound of the ocean was the only applause Daisy could tolerate these days. Far from the illuminated stages and the roaring crowds, she had found refuge in a small house overlooking a boundless sea. She wasn't hiding from fans or journalists, but from a much more elusive enemy: the emptiness she felt inside. She was a star who had stopped recognizing her own light.

Slowly, curiosity was taking the place of fear, and a timid smile was beginning to resurface on her face. She knew that one day, when her soul and heart were finally reunited, she would emerge from her hiding place.
