Aya Seino was the type of girl who kept to herself. She just wanted to blend in with the rest of her classmates at the Konoha Ninja Academy; she just wanted to be another student in her class, just another face in the crowd. By keeping to herself and blending in, no one would have to know that she wasn't quite like the rest of them. However, when Aya is assigned to squad ten, she finds herself for the first time in a while wanting to form those bonds of friendship, the very same bonds that she had once had with others and then lost.
