Rose hair, blue eyes, as if it already carried a label on the forehead. I knew that each step would be evaluated, every detail commented.

Between anxiety and hope, he imagined whether he would find real friends or just curious glances. The cold floor of the gate looked like a threshold between who it was and who would have to be. He adjusted his shoulders, raised his chin and took a deep breath. I needed to believe that this place could be a stage of new stories, not just another scenario of judgments.
