"I know that you're different, please know that I do, but I'm not out to hurt you. I love you, Jane."

Jane's trouble started when she was four years old and it hasn't stopped since. The voices that were once faint are now loud and she can't ignore them and she's afraid of everyone, even herself sometimes. She doesn't eat as much as she should and she says things that don't make sense. But she's human just like everyone else and she's lonely despite how terrified she is of everyone. Will things change for her when an old friend starts visiting her again? Or will she scare him away just like everyone else?
