"I... I want to confirm my usefulness. Right now, I can't do anything but be a burden..."

"......"

*Usefulness.* That wasn’t a word you would expect to hear from a high school student. Uijae looked at Gaeul more closely. From head to toe, she seemed like a perfectly ordinary student. Nineteen years old, still a minor. It was unsettling to hear someone so young speak of their “usefulness.”

"So... I want to try everything I can. Anything that might help…."
