Hei-Ran was trying to figure out the cause of Nivritti's nightmare. And Nivritti kept raising red flags about her life. She was lonely, keeping secrets from her own family. No one in her near vicinity knew where she was or what her phone number was. She didn't even have any friends.
"Hey! I have more friends!" protested Nivritti.
"See denial," commented Hei-Ran.
"I am not lying. I have more friends," pouted Nivritti.
"Name them!"
"Members of ASD. They are my friends," replied Nivritti.
"Oh really!?" Hei-Ran crossed her arms over her chest.
"Yes!"
"Do you guys talk often?" asked Hei-Ran.
"Yes, every day. In fact, this injury happened when they were in my house," said Nivritti, raised her leg and showed her injury to Hei-Ran.
