♚ Dream 1 Public Recording
The dream begins in a moderate-sized dance studio. It's around sunset and no one is in the studio save for one girl with black hair and bright red eyes; in short, Rue, dressed in her usual gray, blue-trimmed uniform.
She has no music playing because there is no one there to play the piano, yet she dances in perfect time with whatever music she has going in her head. She continues her practice, leaping across the dance floor, nearly crossing it in one bound. She practices each step with remarkable fluidity and grace, and she is clearly happy while dancing. You could tell that just from how she was moving, without even seeing the smile on her face.
She keeps going until she makes a mistake on a particular move. No one is watching to see her mess up, but she still berates herself in a soft breath and repeats the step continuously until she gets it, then looks at herself in the mirror, glistening with sweat but grinning in triumph.
And the sleeping Rue smiles softly as she turns over. She's always been happiest when dancing.
