1 In a world where I have only seen my face

A common knowledge in this world is that no matter what you do you shouldn't show your face or see someone who resembles you.

I was always curious to know what happens when you take off the mask.

its not like I haven't seen faces but whenever I ask to my mother why some people can show their faces but we cannot.

my mother replied "we shouldn't compare or be like them"

"I look in the street only people with mask and few people without mask"

the people with the mask seem to be avoiding the ones without mask

the people without mask are commonly know as the "The Faces"

It was my first day in high school and all seem to be normal and a girl without mask enters the class and says being nervous:

"My name is Aoi nobuhara"

she sat beside me and tried to speak with me but people behind my back told me not to speak with her. there was a very cold look towards her from the class.

she was a very good looking girl. I think it was my first time looking a girl that pretty.

I thought it was okay to talk with her so I talked with her even though the whole class told me not to.

after talking to her not only her but I also got a very cold look it was as if they left me out of the circle.

constant bullying started to happen to me just because I talked with the "The Faces" girl. she also tried to avoid me.

I think she feels guilty that because of her all the bullying is happening to me.

I got depressed and didn't go to high school for 3 days and still no one from my high school friends tried to contact me

one morning Aoi came to my house checking if I'm okay. it felt me better.

she came to my room and started asking "do you know why people avoid me"

I replied "cause you are not wearing face"

she turned cold and her usual aura went cold when she said the next line.

Aoi biting her lips and with fierce said:

"Do you know to be "The Faces" you have to kill, and I have killed a person"<smiling>
