We all have to find our own ways to be the person that we want to be and to have the courage to be that person.

She's right. She's so right. And Inigo now knows that it comes from experience. That Eight really had to change who she was, once she realised that her core identity, the one thing she was always told to think of herself as, wasn't the only thing out there in the world. She had the courage to try and change.

"No, I.." He rubs away the few remaining tears she didn't catch earlier. "I know what I want to be. And I-- I know I have to try to be braver about it, so I want to be." Even though it's hard. Even though it's terrifying.

If he doesn't try, it'll never get better.

"Maybe I won't be able to deal with having an audience all the time, but.. um.. j-just come watch me sometimes. Please. Even if it's rarely. If I really want to be a dancer, I.. I need to get used to having an audience. I want to get used to it, somehow."
