Raido spent middle-school isolated due to his unintentionally unfriendly appearance, and hopes that high school will be different.

She seems distant at first, then a little too close, and before long Raido comes to understand that Aharen has more than a little trouble at gauging the distance between herself and others--in more ways than one.
