    # MC's long and eloquent monologue
    scene intro_234 with dissolve
    mc "(Wow, this is really happening. I never expected so many people to be interested in my tutoring services.)"
    mc "(I mean, I put up the announcement hoping to help a few students, but this... this is something else.)"
    mc "(Each of these girls has their own unique challenges and needs. It's going to be a lot of work, and I'm not sure I'm up for it.)"
    scene intro_235 with dissolve
    mc "(What if I can't live up to their expectations? What if I fail them all? The thought of letting them down is terrifying.)"
    mc "(But at the same time, there's this excitement bubbling inside me. These girls... they're all so different, so unique.)"
    mc "(Cherry with her flirty charm, Fiona with her icy beauty, Lilly with her mischievous grin... each one brings something special to the table.)"
    scene intro_236 with dissolve
    mc "(And then there's Margareth with her secrets, Nancy with her tough exterior, Pippa with her clumsy charm, Potty with her athletic drive...)"
    mc "(Sally with her hidden desires, Tinetta with her intellectual challenge, Ilary with her perfectionism, Clarissa with her mystery...)"
    scene intro_235 with dissolve
    mc "(And Tonina, so shy and sweet, with her mother Tonietta pushing her to be more confident. It's a lot to take in.)"
    mc "(I can't help but feel a pang of regret for Karolina. She seemed so upset, so hurt. I never meant to make her feel that way.)"
    scene intro_236 with dissolve
    mc "(She's been such a good friend to me, and I hate the thought of causing her pain. I wish there was something I could do to make it up to her.)"
    mc "(And then there's Miss Francesca... that moment we shared, it was so intense, so embarrassing. I can't believe it happened.)"
    scene intro_234 with dissolve
    mc "(I still feel a mix of emotions whenever I think about it. Guilt, excitement, confusion... it's all so overwhelming.)"
    mc "(But I can't let that distract me. I have a job to do, and I need to focus on helping these students.)"
    scene intro_237 with dissolve
    mc "(It's going to be a challenge, but I'm ready to face it head-on. I want to make a difference, to help them all succeed.)"
    mc "(And who knows, maybe along the way, I'll learn something about myself too. Maybe this is the opportunity I've been waiting for.)"
    mc "(Only time will tell. For now, all I can do is give it my best shot and hope that it's enough.)"

    # The scene ends with MC feeling a mix of excitement, nervousness, and determination as he embarks on his new tutoring venture.
