Theme: Keep an eye open for people who are silently screaming for a shoulder to lean on.

I stood beside the window on the first dloor when I saw her walking through the pathway towards the entrance-gate. No matter how hard I tried, i could neither understand her nor penetrate into her dark aura.

I wanted to get to know her.
She seemed to be stuck in some kind of problem and I myself didn't know how I had deduced that.
Through gut feeling perhaps.

The next day I found her crying in the corner of an empty classroom. Her eyes were swollen, her cheeks red and nose all runny. When I asked her if she was okay, she just shook her head and started sobbing vigorously. I awkwardly patted her head as I sat with my back against the wall beside her.

I later on found that she was having problems with her step-mother.

We need to be attentive towards each other.
At some instant, someone might just need you to listen, not to do anything, but to just listen.
