Mercedes knows that she's good. She's the best, that's just a fact.
Nevertheless, this moment always comes, after she breathes in, before she sings. Each time, it is endless, terrifying, longer than ever. Everything stills; time hovers incandescent, her heart gutters to a stop, the world recedes, and she's falling in place.
Maybe this happens to humble her. Maybe it's a sign that she needs to be more brave -- tougher and more self-centered. More Rachel.
In the silence, surrounded, dwarfed by it, she can only do one thing, all she knows.

She lifts her head, lets the song go.
