Soh straightens her satchel, attempting a brave face as she walks toward a bazaar filled with numerous colors, sounds, and smells. She is only slightly caught off guard by a gentleman who approaches her, asking what sort of thing brought her to this city. Soh pauses for a second, before steeling her nerves and responding in as much confidence as she can muster.
"I'm going to create a successful life for myself, without the aid of any overbearing brothers or nagging parents! I'll show them all exactly what I'm capable of, you'll see!"
The gentleman chuckles, nodding in thought. "Seems like you've got it all figured out then eh," he says. "I hope to hear your name in the future Miss...?" He trails off, leaning towards her slightly and holding out his hand.
Soh smiles and takes it, shaking it firmly. "Miss Soh Naero! I promise, this won't be the last you hear of me." With a wave of goodbye, she steps away from the gentleman and into the market of the city - and towards her future.
