She's sleeping in the streets and offer to clean anyone's feet so that she can get a money for her food, She's taking a bath in the river and changed clothes that she picked up from the garbage. A lot of circumstances happened to her, like accusing her as a thief.

"Hey! Who are you?! please don't hurt me!" She's in panic but need to be brave and act like she's no afraid and ready to fight for herself.
She slowly walks towards the direction where she heard a whisper, "Be brave Claire! Be brave!" She keeps telling herself. She gets a piece of a wood and point in to the direction she's walking.
"Who's that?!" She shouted with her voice trembling.
She throws a stone and peek on the other side of the wall, while she strongly holds a piece of a wood and ready to attack who's behind that wall. "Wait! S-Stop! Please don't!" a voice came from a boy, he looks like as the age of Claire. Claire is shocked.
