Hotaru gazed out into the night
every thing was dark
nothing moved
this was the way she liked things
it was quiet
too quiet
she sighed
nothing had been the same since Rini had come
Rini was nice
she was the only friend that she really had
but why Hotaru wondered why would anyone be friends with someone like me
she closed her eyes
this girl was different
she had a secret
just like me Hotaru thought
she opened her eyes and looked at her hands
they were pale and lifeless
just like every thing else about her
why would she want to be friends with me
no one knew her secret
no one could ever know
if they did she would be a freak
more of one than she already was
she could never let anyone know what she was
especially Rini
if Rini knew she would go away
"no," she thought
"no, Rini likes me the way i am"
Hotaru slumped into her bed
she smiled
thats right
Rini likes me the way i am
she doesn't care if I'm a cyborg
she likes me for who i am
she'll always be my friend
and with that Hotaru fell asleep
