Villainy: 1
Characterization: 10
Melody: 10
Total: 21/30

Man, I'm so sorry I can't put this higher, that villainy score just really, really held back what is otherwise one of my favorite villain songs. Unlike some of the other 1s like Defying Gravity and Roar of the Jungle Dragon, which are ultimately heroic, and Distant Image and Awaken, which weren't specific enough to the character to be villainous without context, Your Reality loses almost all its points because of where this lands in the story. Similar to Still Alive, the villain has already been defeated. Unlike Still Alive, however, this isn't the villain mocking the protagonist, this is her basically explaining why she did everything she did. It's not malicious, but instead it's kind of heartbreaking. It's a love song written by someone who knows her love is manufactured and impossible, but who is still desperate for that love. In the end, she finally doe accept it though, and that last line of "I'll leave you be" hits incredibly hard.
