anyone;

[Reia]

no one really knows what the ocean hides
but you and I, bird, we’re gonna find out

A sweet girl, but dangerous.
Precarious, but tender.

She is both thunder and tranquility, brewed together in a beautiful face and bright eyes. She peered up at her parents with the same awe they stared down. A predator, she thought they said, but when she glanced down at herself she saw nothing more than fragility. Her legs had struggled to hold her weight, and she wanted only to nurse and rest.

The weeks have since passed – or has it already been months? -  and in that time, Reia has grown and strengthened. She is no longer confined to her mother’s side, desperate for milk. A sense of independence has washed across her since the incoming of her jagged teeth. Small points have broken through her gums and after a solitary moment of scavenging, Reia acquired the taste for blood.

Is that what mother and father meant by predator? That she won’t eat like the other children? That blood will instead be the foundation of her diet?

The squirrel had been in her passing to the Playground, a small nibble to satisfy her curiosity before stepping into a place entirely unknown. It unravels in front of her, this strange place, but she is drawn into its embrace by the voices that blossom and chatter. Despite being away from her parents for the very first time, Reia adopts an air of confidence that she lets leak through her entire core. She straightens herself and takes in a lungful of air before proceeding deeper, darting her silver eyes across the knots of other young children.
