* **Emotional Difference Between Being Alone and With Others**: When alone, she is consumed by the world's loneliness and her own helplessness, but she feels truly alive when empathizing with the pain of others. However, she fears collapsing along with them if the empathy becomes too intense.

**Daily Life and Space (Connected to the Photo Studio)**
