File: Mouri Ran
Mouri Ran, just your average sunny, teenage girl. She always greets people she knows with smiles. The kind of smile that makes you have the urge to smile back.
But, not everyone knows what's behind that smile.
Sometimes, when she's by herself, she would cry uncontrollably. She would let her tears trickle down her face, and drop onto the little photo in the glass frame that she holds.
The photo, of her, and her best friend, who has been missing for months.
The photo, of her, and a boy, smiling so innocently and happily.
She misses him so much. So much that she wants to throw everything she has away and run to the end of the world to find him.
But she knows she can't. She still has to live her own life. She still has to go to school, she still has a mouth to feed, and she doesn't want anyone to worry for her.
She knows he would want that for her too.
But it's not like she can control her emotions, she's only human too. Even if she's like an angel, she brings light to the ones around her, so brave, always sacrificing herself for others. When she hears his name, the memories she tried to lock up in her head starts to get to her.
And of course, there's people who had claimed her as a crybaby.
But, they don't know, If Mouri Ran had cried a hundred times, then she had been strong for a hundred times.
