But not for Theron Julius Qazvin, for he managed to witness her vulnerability--her downfall. Somehow, being friends with him means something more to Dali. One moment when she almost had a breakdown, alone staring at the vast ocean. . . she unexpectedly found a dead body of a girl her age---limp, cold, and shredded with cuts and blood---a lone tear even shone at a corner of the girl's eye.
