Another one of the children was Towotei, a small boy who was only seven during the "accident". He, like the others, would spend endless days rocking back and forth, mumbling gibberish. His only crime was being deaf and having the same facial deformity as Lala, forcing his mouth into a constant smile and so he was locked up in the institute all his life. He was a troublesome child and would often whack his head against the wall so hard the stone would chip off. Because of that, the carers would often lock him outside, tied to the fences. He was left out there so often that he got frostbite, his limbs turned permanently blue from the ice he was forced to endure, it was a miracle he survived as long as he did. But he and Lala had something in common: both of them smiled all the time, even when he was half froze to death he would smile, even when the carers smashed his teeth out one by one with a metal bar because he bit them he kept smiling. Always smiling.
