Young adult female: Saki

Young adult female, late teens to early twenties. Soft, breathy, and melancholic texture reflecting deep isolation. Gentle and reserved delivery with a subtle undercurrent of wonder and burgeoning hope. Mid-range pitch, measured pace, and precise articulation. The performance should balance a sense of fragility with a quiet, emerging inner strength as she navigates a world she cannot touch.

Script: I have learned to read truth in the space between heartbeats; if I cannot touch the world, then let me understand it, gently, before it slips away again.
