MORI'S P.O.V.

I'm quiet. It's a fact.

People labelled me as the "strong and silent type". I guess they're right.

But also with being quiet, I notice a lot of things since as I'm not talking, it gives me time to think. I notice everything.

For example, how Dany slipped away when people complimented her and as they all started arguing. I thought about that later after she said to Honey "too many people arguing" and I came to the conclusion that her parents fight a lot. Or at least someone close to her fights a lot with others.

And also, judging on the fact at how her mom treats her, she's not used to getting compliments. So when everyone was basically yelling compliments at her, it made her uncomfortable since she doesn't know how to take them.

I can also tell that Dany is a deep thinker, like I am. And I know from this one fact that she stresses a lot, she's intelligent, and she has some level of depression. Intelligence and depression always go hand in hand thanks to over and deep thinking.

I've also noticed how careful she is with Honey. I did hear her say to Tamaki that Honey reminds her of her younger brother, Natsu, then say that her brother and father were back in England. She got very quiet after that.

Other things I've noticed is how she often says she doesn't really like dating, she's more of a flirter. I notice how when she gets nervous, she looks down and picks at her nails, which is why they're so short. She has some level of OCD, since she sometimes rearranges the chairs in the music room to be perfectly placed with a certain amount of space between them. She can't make eye contact when she's talking to someone, she always looks down to the floor or her lap or whatever's in front of her to avoid it. When she's not paying attention, she sways back and forth and will continue to do so until someone points it out or she notices. This can be a sign of OCD or insanity, but I'd much rather it be OCD. She wears a locket everyday that she opens and closes at random times repeatedly. She likes to fix the bracelet of an angel covering its face that she wears on her right wrist so that it's always facing up, no matter how many times it twists around. She plays with her earrings to check if they're facing the right way a lot. She doesn't eat much, hence why she's so thin. It's not that she has an eating disorder or something, just a very small appetite. She has horrible balance and usually trips over her own feet and sways and almost falls over even when walking on a flat surface. Though this is a fact, she can balance any object on anything, I've seen her balance a spoon on a rim of a glass and stack sugar cubes on the spoon. She got up to about thirty before the spoon looked as if it was going to fall, so she just kept it balanced there for all to see.

But the few distinguishable things I've noticed about Dany is how she flinches at loud sounds and how she stiffens up when someone touches her. She hates it when people touch her hair. She has little marks on the bottom of her palm she sometimes covers with bandages. This is because she clenches her fists too tightly and her nails (which are shockingly hard for human fingernails) dig into her skin and draw blood and give her scars. She doesn't do this on purpose; it's a habit.

She always lets her eyes wander everywhere to take in everything. She notices things, like I do. She can't hold eye contact with someone she doesn't talk to normally for more than a second, and I've yet to find out why. My best conclusion is that she was either taught to do that, or she's just really shy on the inside.

I find myself very lucky that she doesn't mind that I like carrying her around and holding her.

I only do so because I know she needs a good hug now and then, and she just needs someone to cling to.

So I'm here for her, because I noticed her.
