"I-I see...So, that's how it was."
I stuttered and couldn't really give a proper response after hearing the tragic words that Nina said. I was pretty sure that she didn't know how sad her words actually were in reality, and she simply spoke her mind.
She had spent her whole life thinking that no one found her attractive due to her skin colour and thought that even the people who were close to her who complimented her were simply doing so to not hurt her feelings.
She simply had that firm mindset that she was unlovable to a person of the opposite sex, to the point that it didn't even faze her if someone said anything bad about her appearance, as she truly believed that to be the case and accepted it in a rather straightforward manner.
But now all of that changed, as a kid had suddenly entered her life who, unlike everyone else, she knew for sure that he found her to be pretty in his eyes.
