”As I watch ponies down there, I know ponies are watching me up here. Even in this place of private contemplation, I have appearances to maintain. An image to keep. This is what it means to rule. Everything one says and does exists within a confined box of expectations. I have the power to do anything, but my choices are often already made. Decisions I make are defined by how they benefit my ponies. How I comport myself is dictated by the solemnity of my position. I cannot lay down, Anon, because that cuts against the idea of regal presence. I would be resting on a job I must be seen working at all times.”
