    >They even tried to hurt you once, but Octavia stood up to them
  13. 13.
    >You smile and look at her sleeping form
  14. 14.
    >She always takes care of you, protects you, comforts you when you are sad
  15. 15.

    >You get up and go after her
  29. 29.
    >There is a big, heart-shaped decor in the living room with some presents under it
  30. 30.
    >You go towards them and see one with your name on it
  31. 31.
    >Taking the package, you carefully start to unwrap your present
  32. 32.
    >You don't want to damage the wrapping

    >It takes a minute before you take it out of it's box
  34. 34.
    >It's a pair of sunglasses with purple lenses
  35. 35.
    >Seems quite big for you too but they are really pretty
  36. 36.
    >Still, you have no idea what to do with them in winter time
  37. 37.
    >"I thought you could use them to cover your eyes." You hear Octavia speak as if she knew what you were thinking
  38. 38.
    >"I uh... I know you are really sad because of other kids and I thought maybe you would look cool in them and they wouldn't laugh at you anymore. Now you can make more friends!" You turn to her.
  39. 39.
    >"The small ones weren't pretty so I got you a big one. You like it?"
  40. 40.
    >You feel your eyes sting and a drop of tear runs down your cheek
  41. 41.
    >"Oh no! You hated it." Octavia sits down in front of you and grabs your hand
  42. 42.
    >"I- I'm so sorry, Vinyl. I didn't mean anything by it. I just thought maybe you..." She hesitates for a second. "I just don't want you to be sad anymore. It... It hurts so much."
  43. 43.
    >Tears start running down on her face
  44. 44.
    >Of course you liked it! You loved it!
  45. 45.
    >She got it all wrong!
  46. 46.
    >But you can't tell her that because she is not looking at you now. She's crying.
  47. 47.
    >You put on the glasses and just hug her
  48. 48.
    >She tenses for a few seconds before returning the hug and slowing her crying
  49. 49.
    >You let her go and you sign her
  50. 50.
    "They are beautiful. I love them. Thank you."
  51. 51.
    >She sobs once more before laughing and tackling you to the ground with a hug
  52. 52.
    >She's a little heavy but it's okay
  53. 53.
    >Afterall, it's the best feeling in the world
