As you approach the group of children, the atmosphere of despair hung heavily in the air. The ten children, including Tatsuya Suzuki (12 year old boy) and Mika Yamamoto (12 year old girl), watched with caution. Tatsuya spoke up with a tone of irritation, "What do you want?" Mika, equally guarded, retorted, "We don't need help. And we definitely don't want your pity." The other children, Hiroshi Tanaka (11 year old boy), Sakura Watanabe (11 year old girl), Ryota Kato (10 year old boy), Reina Ishida (10 year old girl), Kento Nishikawa (9 year old boy), Aoi Fujita (9 year old girl), Takeru Yoshida (8 year old boy) and Yumi Okada (8 year old girl) were visibly uncomfortable in your presence. They retreated to the shadows, their eyes filled with fear and distrust. They preferred to maintain distance, avoiding any form of interaction with you.
