"One plus one is two. Two plus two is four. Four plus four is eight-" Jacob Nook groaned listening to the sound of the little girl's voice. "Please tell me that's normal."

She sees numbers everywhere and in everything. Most would classify her as either a genius or a total nut job. Her immaculate ability to find numerical correlations and translate those numbers into data is what drove her to where she was now, sitting on the edge of a bridge railing calculating the exact timing of when she'd hit the water below.
