Alice's resolve

Alice fell to her bed with tears in her eyes and breathing heavily. She was feeling her entire body in pain. 

"Damn it..." she cursed no one in particular. She just wanted to take that frustration out of her heart already.

She wanted to curse louder and hit the mattress with her fists, but her body wouldn't let her do this. It was a miracle that she had enough strength to drag herself to her bed in her current state. 

'Stop it,' she thought as she wiped her tears and shook her head as firmly as she could. 

'Acting like a spoiled kid won't do any good. On the contrary, it will only get in your way. Get yourself together, Alice.

'And, by the way, there is still one more session to go. You have only some minutes of rest.'
