This is a very well written story that was enjoyable to read.
I think the gradual approach of true self-awareness and an end to her denial was timed perfectly.
The only problems I had were that once or twice I wasn't sure who was speaking, but reading it again, I think it was my problem not yours.
Also, I could have sworn that when Pandora opened her box, the only thing that remained was hope, whereas you said that left too.

this is so good so far!

That had to be one of the best stories I've ever read!! I could go on and on about the incredible description and the flowing dialogue. Like I said, I could go on and on, but to sum it up; I loved it. Great work, keep writing!
