"Since my birth, I always lived in peace and I never saw a war of my life. We could say that I live normally. The problem is, I lived normally, but I am not normal. I always had that... power... To see in my father's mind what he was thinking, and that power that made me broke everything and hurt someone when I was angry. It frightened me ever since I discovered this, and it frightened my dad's too. I was never taught how to use these powers correctly, or to avoid to use them. It was involuntary, always sudden and against my will. I can't be normal with that. I never had friends, because they didn't want me to know what they thought."
She shivered and tried to find a way to continue.
"Lately, one girl at school was new, and she came to see me, even after that the others told her that she should not. She didn't mind that I could read her mind. She thought it was cool and that if two persons were friends, they could not hide anything from each other, so it was natural that I could know everything. So I promised to tell her absolutely all of my thoughts. One day, she invited me to her house. So, when I came back from school at home, I asked my father if I could go. He refused. I knew it. He did not want me to cause trouble. He did not want to have trouble because of my powers. I got angry. Really. I am young and I need a friend. I never had one. I was so angry that I looked at the fire in the fireplace and I just imagine my father, that was beside the fire, being burn by the fire. I... I.... I never wished that to happen for real..."
Tears came to her eyes and rolled down her cheek.
"I was unable to control my powers. Everything arrived so fast... The flames.... The cry of my father burning. I was unable to do anything against it. The fire consumed daddy before my eyes, and I never did anything....."
She cried as her tears fell down on her shirt and pants. Kyuki took her in his arms while she finished:
"The night before, I had a nightmare and I made for no reason my backpack when I woke up. During the fire, I knew why I had made it. I left home like that. I was running and the scream of terror of dad was still present in my head. Now want to go away. Away. Forever."
