Tell me a secret, Fandom High. Something no one else knows.

If you don't have any secrets, tell me one thing you wish would happen to you.

I know it's not the same thing, at all, but ...

I still wear goggles, around my neck, in case I need to hide my eyes.

No one here notices or cares. It's been two years. But I do.

Why do you need to hide your eyes?

I'm afraid that I will always notice what I am, even if there ever comes a day when people can look at me without the scarf, and smile.

My pupils are spirals. The first person to notice it, here, thought it was beautiful, which ... almost made me cry.

Back home, it means I'm an Al Bhed. A filthy grease-monkey. A heathen.

I keep waiting for someone to see my pupils and pull back, horrified. To yell at me for not telling them I was one of those people. It doesn't happen here.

I think ... if you took your scarf off, you would get questions. Genuine curiosity, not mean or cruel ones. I think everyone here was once The Strange One, The Freak, or The Weirdo.

I think maybe Fandom is exactly where you're supposed to be.

They do sound beautiful, and intriguing.

Maybe Fandom is exactly where you're supposed to be too.

...but they always say the first step is the hardest, right?
