With her eyes shut, a memory suddenly flooded her mind.
A thin girl with yellow hair, dressed in tattered clothes, smiled. Her face was dirty as she said, "Why don't you talk? There aren't many living people here. It's so boring if you stay silent."

"Then I will protect you too!" "You can't fight them, but I can!" "Do you think we can get out?" "I don't know. But if I do get out, I want to live clean and beautiful, like a real girl."
