Nightlight is an autistic unicorn training to be a princess. In the last year, she has made great progress in learning to be a friend — especially with her big brother (White Night). For the next stage in her training, Princess Skysparkle wants her to live as a normal pony, far away from her privilege as a rich girl.

White Night isn't sure how to give her the news. It can be very tricky to handle the emotions of his autistic sister. In addition to delays in social skills, Nightlight can easily get distressed — leading to the occasional meltdown.
