There is a sentence in Alai's "The Dust Settles": "What is love? Bubble in the bones!"

Before high school, I was a very ordinary student, even without much achievement. Family and my reasons make me feel that my own existence is dispensable. Slowly, I hid my fear, pain, and other negative emotions, and slowly I began to put on my armor. I couldn't seem to take it off, and I didn't seem to want to take it off. I'm terrible, I don't know what my future will be like, I don't beg to be loved, I don't want to connect with other people.

​

One summer vacation, a friend stayed at my house for a long time. He took me out to play and gave me a lot of encouragement. He also filled me with many things that I had not been exposed to before. Slowly, I seemed to be changing. So those hard armors fell off, and the haze gradually disappeared.
