As Michiko walks out of class for the day, she looks longingly towards the forest. She was able to be herself there, free to run and play without worry until it was time to return home to the streets where she currently resided on her own. She had heard of orphanages around town, but was afraid that she was too old to be adopted and would likely have better luck living on her own as she had been for the past four years. Besides, she had made some friends amongst the other street dwellers. She didn't really know how she would be able to handle living around a group of other unfortunate children like herself. Sure, she always had a smile on her face, but usually when people found out about her history they shunned her. That's why she didn't have many friends, and preferred to spend her time in the forest playing on her own.
As she takes a step towards the forest, she spies one of her classmates that had recently caught her attention. She was tall for children their age, and her white hair and amber eyes made her stand out even further. From what Michiko remembered, she was blind. How awful it must be, not able to see the beautiful sunsets and other sights around the village. Perhaps she could use a friend? Michiko hadn't really noticed any other children talking to her very often, and that just wasn't right. Avoiding someone because they looked different? Not on her watch; she was going to befriend this other girl one way or another! "Hey! Tall girl, over here!" Michiko waves at her, then remembers that the girl can't see and begins to blush furiously. She starts walking over to her, a girl on a mission that she refused to let go.
