My name is Cristina and my uncle and aunt always said I look flat and insignificant; they repeated those words every day, eroding my confidence until I was scared of living in the world outside. I was aware I needed to find the strength to leave that place, but I was also incredibly anxious about the train journey I’d have to take: it was going to be quite long and I had never left Ragusa before. I had to leave no matter what - and the bravery to do it would come to me. That morning I woke up at down and hastily dressed in a pair of jeans, a shirt and my red jacket, the only one I had. I combed the curls falling along my brown hair, prepared the suitcase with the few rags I had, took a deep breath, trying to calm myself down, and left. I didn’t say anything to my uncle and aunt, because I was afraid they wouldn’t let me leave; I took advantage of them sleeping and left the house. I ran to the station, which was almost a kilometer away from my house and miraculously jumped into the train as it was ready to leave. I sat close to the window, still out of breath; I looked outside and saw the beautiful landscape where I grew up with fleeing away, leaving many sad memories behind.

Spesso mi soffermavo sulla potenza dell' amore e su quanto incidesse nella vita degli esseri di qualsiasi specie, bastava semplicemente abbandonarsi a questo e lasciarsi trasportare...Sono Cristina, ho vissuto fin dall' età di cinque anni con gli zii perché orfana, maltrattata ed odiata da loro finalmente maggiorenne posso andarmene. Il mio insegnante mi ha trovato lavoro presso una famiglia in un paesino ai confini con l' Austria. La mia storia fantastica inizierà in quel luogo e terminerà a Goguryeo nella splendida Corea.
