“She ran through the factory, completely aware of the person very close behind her.”

What do you do when you are told you should not or cannot? (shot)

If she was told that she could not continue to run away from what is chasing her, she would evidently fail her mission, which is to escape her own fears. Whether or not the person behind her is real or just a figure of her imagination, she must continue to run in order to reach her final destination, her freedom.

What is feminine writing supposed to be as opposed to masculine writing? (cut)

Feminine writing is more of a delicate taste rather than masculine writing, which may be rougher and into gory detail. Though the differences between the two are not obvious, when writing about two characters of the opposite sex, it is necessary for everything they do to be explained very diversely in order to describe them successfully.

What's the difference between dreams and reality? (shot)

Dreams are what she imagines within her own body, soul and mind that may or may not relate to reality, which is what is actually physically happening in her world.

Who is responsible? (cut)

She is responsible for her own freedom. In order to complete this, she needs to over come her fear and reach her destination.

How long is fantasy necessary or useful? When do you no longer need fantasy? How does fantasy help you survive? (shot)

She needs fantasy in a way that there may or may not be someone chasing her or following her, though she truly believes that there is, and she is trying intensely to escape it. Although what she is really trying to escape is her fear and she will no longer need fantasy when she comes to realize this and face it head on.

What is useful? vs. What is useless? & How does feeling 'useful' make you happy? (cut)

Obviously feeling like you are useful is a wonderful feeling and she can of course relate to that. If you feel that you are unwanted and useless, you will feel as though you have no point in your life and that everything you’ve ever wanted is nothing at all. She can feel this, as she is trying to find her freedom, and take the journey to get there.
