top ten saddest moments to me is nina defending Beth to the other girls in the changing room / looking up to her and then having Beth basically admit she talks shit about her with Thomas

I think this is also interesting because. Nina is called weak by Thomas and yes she’s very apologetic and submissive when it comes to herself. Like if people have critiques or whatever she will internalize it and accept it because she agrees, I mean she is always pushing herself past the breaking point because she never feels like she is good enough. She can always be better. But she does speak up for Beth in front of the girls saying that she dances beautifully and that she’s not the only person at her age to still be dancing.

“ Well I just — um. Sorry .” It’s like second nature. An apologetic skin I wear constantly. “ I wasn’t trying to be.”

— aye, ah noticed. you apologise like it's a nervous tic.

juliette had rarely payed nina sayers much mind when they were together in company. ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎she was never cruel, or just quiet like the other girls were, but up until the time of her early and seemingly 'tragic' withdrawal from the world of ballet, she hadn't given her more than a passing thought of pity when saying hello. ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎towards the end it was different, when the other girls began whispering about juliette behind her back, their use for her friendship all but fulfilled. ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎nina was the only one who remained consistent in her attitude, genuine in tone. ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎had it been even a few months earlier, juliette wouldn't have seen her standing outside the shop window, staring in to a world so separated. ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎"excuse me a second," ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎miss king is oh kind to the shop attendant showing her jewlery pieces‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ – ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ironically feeling holier than thou in the way she treats these people, as if they were on her level, as if she was able to stoop so low‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ (privilege blinds her when the mask of vigilantism is off ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎... ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎and though she won't admit it, it blinds crossfire as well). ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎"nina! ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎hi."‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ she pushes through the door, gentle but with an obvious attentiveness, excitement, perhaps. ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎"i saw you from inside and‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ – ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎are you shopping, or just walking by? ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎you should come in, keep me company, you know, if you want." ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎(@ohdete).
