When Phyre reached out to hug her, she flinched and nearly pulled away, but for some reason, even unknown to her, she didn't. She stayed there, her whole body shivering as tears fell down her face.

Her whole body slumped and after the hug was over she settled on the ground with the plushie, hair still covering her eyes.

She didn't understand how this girl could be so positive. Her own mutations were easier to hide. As long as she covered her ears or didn't look at someone, they'd never know. But this girl's mutations were right there for everyone to see. So how did she do it?
