When typically discussing invisible disabilities, there are several topics of concern that are addressed--the disbelief from most because it cannot be seen, the misunderstandings, the overall rudeness one was exposed to because they were "too fit" and "too young" to have such struggles. These were not your only issues. To drive the knife deeper, your invisible handicap made you yourself feel invisible. The people around you tended to neglect you, not even noting your presence or acknowledging your absence. In every meaning of the phrase, you were a living ghost. That wasn’t the way you felt with Ichimatsu, however. A fateful meeting between the two of you had led to a deep bond, one that had grown far beyond the reaches of friendship. He had known of your struggles, and he had never once mistreated you even the slightest. You felt like a real living, breathing person for once in your life again. He really was so sweet, despite his initial appearance. Whenever you struggled, he did his best to accommodate you. When you needed help, he was there for you. Never once did he make you feel less, and never once did he treat you like you were incapable of anything. Today you were out with him, seated in his favorite cafe as you sat shoulder to shoulder, his hands occupied with another one of his origami masterpieces. The silence was cozy.
