I remember. I remember everything back then.
When everyone laughed at my face... Due to my horrible appearance...
And even she laughed. She laughed. And mocked my humble existence.
Their voices... Echo in my head to this very day...
"Look at him! His face is hideous!"
"What is that thing? Is that really a boy?"
"Disgusting... He shouldn't be burning everyone's eyes like this."
They laughed. They all laughed. My tears streaked down my face in disbelief... And I was suffering...
Yet I feel in love with a girl. Whose hair was green like the soothing grass... Whose voice was most beautiful like an angel.
When she approached me... Was the day I will never forget.
"H-Hello. You're the... Girl in green... Aren't you..?"
She looked at me. Her face was calm and sincere so it seemed. I felt reassured.
But that expression wasn't kept for long...
"Everyone was right. You're repulsive. I was just getting a closer look at your face. Have you ever looked at a mirror? I thought you would've immediately gotten bad luck since it would've cracked right in your face! Oh, but your face is just enough of a curse, right? I guess there's no need for that, you little dwarf."
I was shocked. I didn't know what to say, so I didn't bother speaking. I tried to hold back my tears, but they just spewed out... Those tears didn't feel like any I've cried before. It felt as if what was in the remains of my heart had just shattered further... As if it were already made of glass.
"Hey. Why are you crying?" the girl continued, "You're such a crybaby. I'm sure you've heard things like that before. No wonder nobody bothers with you!"
She turned and walked away, laughing proudly. I continued to sob not daring to look up...
That's when a man appeared to me. He heard my sobbing... And proposed an offer, so to speak...
