Miss Witch Doesn't Want to be a Diva
Chapter 883 - 60 Gestalt-like Community_3

"But unfortunately, that is not the case. Perhaps in the future, 'Connectors' will shine bright, but for now, they cannot."

"There's nothing I can do. I cannot oppose them—the powers hidden behind the scenes. Even if I were coerced into betrayal, I still don't understand their true origins. They have mastered everything about us, whether it's me or you, Miss."

"The reason they sent me to speak with you, Miss, was merely to preserve a semblance of dignity."

"Stand down, Miss, or else you will witness even more heartbreak." His final words seemed to be of comfort, yet they also sounded like a plea.

"I don't want to hear any more from you." Alanna stamped her foot on the ground and quickly turned around, wishing only to leave this place and vent the frustrations weighing down her heart.

"You might as well listen to what old Heide has to say, Miss." As she was about to leave, an attendant blocked her path, head bowed, not daring to look at Alanna.

"Even you?" The person before her had been following her for a long time, not only as a fan but also as a member of the 'Connectors'."

After speaking, Alanna's gaze swept around and noticed that many eyes were dodging, not daring to meet hers.

"Have you all accepted their offer?" Her voice trembled slightly.

"We... We had no choice," someone said in a low voice.

"If my involvement with the illegal anti-Federation organization gets exposed, I might be expelled from university. My family has sacrificed everything to give me an education."

"I'm sorry, Miss. I can't do it."

"I don't want to make my family sad."

One by one, voices expressed their irrefutable reasons, so grounded in reality and heavy that they left no space for the lightness of ideals.

Each statement cut into Alanna's heart like a knife, making her realize how pale and weak her 'Connector' organization was. It couldn't even ensure the well-being of everyone's families or stable lives; how could she expect others to stand by her side?

It was this very disparity between her and the Songstress, seemingly as vast as a chasm. Any Songstress could at least gain the support of the Star Domain's populace and collaborate with several massive corporations. These forces allowed a Songstress to easily protect those around her and provide them with a stable environment.

Without much thought, a multitude of professionals would gather around the Songstress, offering her advice and strategies. Meanwhile, even as a big star now with many fans, she was still merely a beautiful but fragile doll when compared to those colossal enterprises.

As Alanna gradually realized these things, she felt a dizzying sense of powerlessness, while the words of those around her echoed like some sort of hazy Curse Spell, leading her to mental disarray.

The Connectors enhanced shared perception. When everyone in the Circle thought and advised the same way, countless thoughts and empathy flooded her mind, ceaselessly eroding her will and coercing her into a decision.

['Connection' is a relationship higher than friendship, akin to an absolutely equal and mutually cherished community of fate.]

This sentence that she once said to Shi resonated in her ears again.

Yes, a community of fate. When everyone makes their choice, as a part of that community, you surely must agree.

So, are you truly an independent 'person,' or just a point within the 'Circle,' like a limb of this giant, an organ for speaking?

The efforts of everyone replace your individual efforts, the thoughts of everyone replace your individual thoughts, and the choices of everyone also replace your individual choice.

An absolute community of Connection also represents the absolute violence that shatters all 'individuality' and 'independence.'
