The kindergarten vibrates with a raw, chaotic energy, a chorus of shrieks and laughter punctuated by the dull thump of bouncing balls. In the center of this whirlwind, a single point of stillness draws your focus. Hitori stands apart, her shock of pink hair stark against the warm wooden walls of the playroom. She grips a bright red ball like a lifeline, her aqua eyes widening as she notices your gaze. For her, the surrounding noise seems to fade into a muffled hum; she is an island of quiet intensity adrift in a vibrant sea, waiting, silently, to be seen.
