Haru sat next to her mother on the subway. The two ladies had been out running errands. They had even gone to see papa at his job. That was always a fun thing to do. They brought him lunch and ate it in his big office. Her father talked about how he loved everything about pigs. As he and his wife laughed, Koharu looked down to her own nose, watching the round cute button nose turn flat and rounded. She gave a loud snort and a giggle as her mother shouted "KOHARU SUZUKI! NO!!" With a quick gasp, her nose quickly morphed back, having her concentration vanish. She looked innocently at her parents. No one else was around. "What have I told you about doing that in public?" Her mother berated her. "But it's just you and papa." She said innocently with her big naturally black eyes growing as she pleaded with her mother. Did they not realize how hard it was to not change? To keep her hair it's flat boring stick black, and her eyes annoyingly, deep and endlessly black? She could change whatever she wanted, but she was told to refrain. It was hard enough on the subway, but here too? The statue of secrecy was important, she knew that. But it was so hard not, when it was so easy to let the change happen.
Now on the subway, she focused hard on not changing, keeping her face a grumpy sour expression. Even the nice man from across the way, who tried to make her smile, didn't help.
