  Eric walked through Griare Main Mental Institute halls with enthusiasm; it didn’t seem dull as before. Bryanna changed him. He used to think the mentally-challenged people were freaks, but know he thought to himself, ‘What I thought were rejects of society, were actually poor, unfortunate souls yearning for compassion.’ The curly, dark-haired girl who couldn’t talk made a great impact on him in a short amount of time.

Eric said when Bryanna wrote “Thank you” on the whiteboard.
