look closer...

Just an ordinary girl, looks about 15. She's got her whole life ahead of her.

look closer...

She's tired, her gaze isn't really focusing on anything. She's in her own little world, lost and deserted. Her face is white, free of healthy colour, her hairs limp, thin and lifeless.

look closer...

See her right hand, brusied, red and swollen, almost like she's been punching something. Lift her sleeve up. Theres a sea of red and purple lines riddled across her skin. Run your fingers over them, she'll flinch away, but she's defenseless.

look closer...

Stare into her eyes. Blue pools of water, wanting to spill but not free too. Theres something yelling to be let out in there. Her smile seems to be just painted on her face, shielding what lies inside.

She quietly mutters a word. "sorry"
