This chapter is dedicated to Humble as a Bumble Bee, who requested "Innocence".


Innocence is oblivious to all the bad things in the world, because she is young and lacks experience. Everyone knows Innocence at some point. As they grow older people tend to grow apart from Innocence; but some still cling to her and try to stay in touch with her. Many of those who lost contact with Innocence are nostalgic when they meet people who still know her. She likes to dance, even when people are watching; she hardly notices them. Innocence can be literal and does not understand slang or inside jokes. She is not entirely aware of herself, because she doesn't know how to be anyone but herself. She does not know how to impress others. Innocence's favorite song is "Never Grow Up" by Taylor Swift; her favorite flower is a blue-eyed Mary, Collinsia verna. She believes in second chances.
