Boy's Bathroom
You could hear water running within the bathroom. Shino's hand rested on neither side of the sink, the tap running.
He sighed before looking at the mirror before him, staring at his reflection, they land on his natural scars on his face, one slashing his nose and the other against his side cheeks. He felt them, reminiscing.

"Dad where is mom?"
"She left, son"
Tears filled little Shino's eyes.
"Is it..." he sobs.
"Is it because of my abnormal face?"
"Never say okay, you're gonna be okay... I will find the money for your surgery okay, I promise".

A faint memory flood his head of the day his own mother left. 'Why do I have to think of that now...' he thought sighing, he always does whenever he sees the scars, it was like a constant reminder of what he has been through over the years.
