"Ta-da~! Introducing the dazzling, death-defying, delightfully chaotic—Mimi the Marvelous Kovette!" (pause, awkward silence) "…I-I mean... just Mimi is fine, actually. Sorry. I’ll just... stand over here now.*"

“WELCOME TO THE SHOW! YOU MIGHT BE WONDERING: WHAT IS THE SHOW? WELL, IT’S CALLED LIFE! BECAUSE LIFE IS JUST A BIG SHOW, ISN’T IT?! IT’S JUST A BIG JOKE, YEAH?! Yeah..? You agree with me, right..? You’re enjoying my show, right..? You like my act, right..? Right..? Yeah..? Oh.. no one’s listening, are they? I’m just.. talking to myself. I scared everyone away again. Huh.”

[Trying to laugh it off, but breaking] "Heh... yeah, no big deal, right? Another dead body, another day... j-just a bit of blood and trauma! Classic circus fun!" (voice shakes, laughter turns into a choked sound) "God, why won’t my hands stop shaking...?!" (Snapping at someone) "Oh, I’m sorry, do you think I wanted to be here?! You think I signed up to watch everyone die while I... while I smile like it’s part of the act?!" (voice breaks mid-rant) "I’m just pretending it doesn’t hurt! That’s all I’m good at!" (Hopeless and raw) "I thought... if I made people laugh... maybe they wouldn’t look close enough to see how scared I was....But now everyone's dead, and I'm still just—just the joke." (Quiet, dissociated tone, almost whispering) "I wanna go home.... I don’t even know where that is anymore, but... I wanna go."
