That girl they call Mima...

Even as a child

people worried about the evil look in her eyes.

She wasn't bullied or ostracized or anything, but

she was given a bit of a wide berth.

Even that was enough to wound the delicate Mima's heart.

Inevitably

as she spent more and more time alone

she began to pass time by reading.

Before long, the things she read became gloomier day by day.
