After fastening the belt on Ariana's robe, Edlyn patted Ariana's back, encouraging her to walk forward. Ariana took a few steps forward and started to shake. "I'm a freak." She whispered. Edlyn sighed and grabbed Ariana's hand. "No, you are you. Noth-ing more and noth-ing less. Take it as a bless-ing or a happy mem-ory. You lost your scar the same day I learn-ed to speak. So for-get the past and come enjoy the pres-ent." Ariana nodded her head and gave Edlyn a gentle smile. "Thank you for being my friend."
