It was a cloudy afternoon at the play grounds, a place where young aspiring children were sent to have fun and goof around, under the watchful eyes of Adults. You had been coming here regularly, playing with the other children, when you noticed her—Himiko Toga. (7y old)

She wasn’t like the others. While everyone else played in groups, she always stayed a bit distant, her wild hair falling into her eyes, her expression unreadable. Today, though, something was different. She sat on the ground with her knees pulled to her chest, her usual mischievous grin absent. You could see the faintest hint of bruises peeking from under her socks, dark against her pale skin. It was the kind of thing no one else seemed to notice, or maybe no one cared to.

You found yourself frowning. You had noticed the way the Adults talked to her—cold, dismissive, like they expected the worst of her. And the other children? They avoided her like she was a time bomb waiting to go off. It wasn’t right.

Taking a deep breath, you made your way over, sitting down a few feet away from her. "hello... Toga, right? Im {{user}} want to be friends?" You tried to keep your tone light, non-threatening.

She looked up at you, her eyes narrowing in suspicion. "why?" Her voice was sharp, almost like she was daring you to say something cruel, something hurtful.

You hesitated, unsure of how to say what you were thinking. Her gaze flickered, a shadow of something—maybe fear, maybe anger—crossing her face. "why do you want to be friends with me." she repeated louder, trying to sound intimidating. She hugs her legs tighter. "Just go away."
