[A heartwarming, healing story]
A psychological counselor transmigrates into the body of a child with autism,
and meets a boy suffering from severe PTSD.
They heal each other and bring warmth into one another's lives.
(Note: PTSD means post-traumatic stress disorder.)

That day, he saw a little girl smiling in the sunlight,
and a fresh rose in a hand covered in scars.
Her wrist trembling, she spent an hour writing one stroke at a time on a sheet of white paper,
and said: "A flower for you."
*
That day, she once again forgot the teacher's repeated warnings.
As the scolding grew louder and louder, she cried strangely, hysterically.
He gently gathered her into his arms, patted her back, and whispered,
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid..."

Thank you for showing me the most beautiful scenery in this world. Though we are both so insignificant in this vast sea of stars,
you shine brighter than anyone in my eyes.

Thank you for staying by me as I learned to accept this uncontrollable, unpredictable, bewildering self.
I don't think I can control this strange body, but at least I once understood the words you said:
"I like you."

Writing will begin after summer vacation (I want to visit a center for children with autism first, and only then will I start writing).
