God, I don't have any friends. From the moment I was born, I've been persecuted and scorned. I didn't understand why I was met with such looks. However, as I grew older, I came to understand that my white hair and red eyes were something unacceptable in this country. My heart has become more and more weak and timid. I've become helplessly afraid of these things called other people. I'm a different creature from other humans. It's wrong to have any kind of contact with me. I shouldn't have such feelings. My life is worthless. It's worthless being alive. Those are the kinds of things I've been thinking. One day, I found Grüne by the lake... A robin that was injured. I had brought it back home to treat it. While I was taking care of it, I had spent time with that robin. I realized my heart was most at ease with it. If I can be friends with a robin, there's no reason I can't do it with another human. The robin gave me a little bit of courage. I invited the girl next door to eat with me. ......And she answered me with a terrible curse. Yesterday, Grüne escaped from its cage while I had been gone. But I don't think it can be helped. There has to be a place and friends for Grüne to come home to. ......I don't have any blood relatives, but I had my mother so I didn't get lonely. But she's suffering from a severe illness. She probably doesn't have very long. ......When I really become alone, I don't know whether I should keep on living...... God, I honestly don't believe you exist. But, supposing that you...... That there is a thing called God in this world, anyone is fine. I just want someone to be my friend......
