On the fourth day of the fourth month of every year, Equestria pays homage to its fallen heroes. As daylight sets on this solemn ceremony, the immortal sun bows before the soldiers who died for her, and asks a question for which there is no answer.

If your entire life was nothing but an endless expanse of ordered grey, what would you do? If freedom and expression and imagination had been robbed from you, what would you do? What would Twilight Sparkle do?
