During the celebrations for her birthday, the princess decides to pay a short visit to the ruins of the castle she had once called her home. When her student comes to look for her, waking her from her remembrance, the alicorn decides to open up to the younger pony about her insecurities, leading Twilight and Celestia to a conversation about how to deal with the consequences that come from their lifespan.
I love this!!

Sad but uplifting. I love it
Their identities and location became obvious rather quickly, but it's still a nice twist.
We've become so used to images of Twi watching a sad Celestia walk through the ruins in the Everfree, sad Twi and her student in the ruins of Canterlot is ... actually I can't remember any other story with a scene like that.
I also liked that the three princesses were still close after all that time.
A nice short story. Thx.
A sad, but realistic view of the past.
