When Mia decides to go on a midnight walk at the shore in Wales, she would never have thought that this decision would change her life the way it did.

It's dark in the shadow of the hotel, but while walking along the shore the light of the full moon seems quite bright, but also unreal at the same time.

I am caught up in my thoughts again, just two more days before I have to go back home, to Switzerland. Back to reality, where there will certainly not be any room for my dreams and musings.
It's still not really clear, how things are going to go on from there. I could go to a secondary school near my home town, but at least three of my former classmates are going to that school, too, which would mean that I have to put on a mask again. What good will that result in? I don't think it makes any sense at all, and I always had a problem at doing things if i didn't know what I did them for.
I tried to relax as much as possible for the past two weeks, and it worked so well. I felt so comfortable and just like myself. When I smiled at people, they smiled back. Also I was able to improve my English skills, I am a lot safer now at speaking it, even when it doesn't sound perfect, I love the English language so much. Of course it is easier to relax on vacation, I know that, but there is more to that... It's like i discovered this "new Mia", which was buried under all of my insecurities.
The lyrics of a song I constantly listen to matches perfectly with that: "Hurt by society's pressure on me, don't know which version of myself to be." ("stare into the sunlight" by bam)
Suddenly, I was saddening I just don't know how to keep going like that anymore. Tears formed in my eyes and my sight blurred...
OUCH!!! What was that?
I cannot tread with my right foot anymore. It hurts like hell! I sit down on the next rock and examine my foot, well as much as it is possible in the dim lights of the moon. I see a dark-colored fluid - blood - and a shockingly big wound. I can feel that there is still a glass shard in there, but I am too afraid to pull it out and obviously I can't walk to our hotel either.
And what now? Stuff like that just happens to me. I am stuck on the beach, my parents won't be looking for me 'til the morning and there's no one who would hear my shouts. But i guess that is the punishment for being all dreamy and preoccupied in thought. I try my best to lie down and put my feet up so the bleeding slows down at least a bit. I have no other choice than to wait for dawn, even though it'll take hours.
An hour later, I am crying because of self-pity and pain. Also it's petrifying being alone in the dark on a beach, and I start to think about what a bad idea it was to go for a walk in the middle of the night. All of this wouldn't have happened if I was thinking straight, this would never have happened at home.
All of a sudden, I hear a sound. I try to sit up, it sounds like barking. And then I see a mid-sized dog with floppy ears walking towards me in the moonlight.

He looks so lovely, how he stands there looking at me with his innocent eyes. I did not once think of being afraid of that lovely being. I put out my hand towards the approaching dog. "And where do you come from?", I begin talking with him. Of course he doesn't answer but he comes closer very carefully, before he warms me up by cuddling my side, as if he knows that I'm cold.
But I also hear a voice from further away, calling out to someone "Yuki, where are you?".
