In a bright classroom high above the clouds, Kaido sat alone. His classmates whispered, "Look at him!" one girl said. "He destroyed a whole building!" Kaido’s dark brown hair hung over his deep violet eyes. He looked out the window, ignoring the noise. The flying cars zipped by, but he felt so far away, trapped in a bubble of thoughts.
One day, a kind girl named Mia walked over. "Hey, Kaido! Want to join us?" she asked with a smile. Kaido looked up, surprised. His eyes sparkled for a moment. "I don’t think so," he replied softly. But he could feel something shift inside. Maybe it wasn't so lonely after all, floating above the bustling world.
The next day, Mia brought a red apple and placed it quietly on Kaido's desk. "For you," she said, her eyes twinkling like stars. Kaido was taken aback. No one had ever given him anything before, except for sidelong glances and whispers. He touched the apple gently, and for the first time, he felt a small, warm glow in his chest, as if the sun itself had peeked through the clouds just for him.
During recess, Mia invited Kaido to play a game with her friends. Hesitant at first, he joined them, feeling the breeze rush through his hair as they raced across the sky garden. Laughter filled the air, and Kaido found himself smiling, his worries melting away like sugar in the rain. "You're really fast, Kaido!" Mia giggled, and Kaido realized he was not just fast but also happy.
As the school bell rang, Mia and her friends waved goodbye. Kaido stood by the window again, but this time, the world outside seemed brighter. He realized that his secret power wasn't about destruction; it was the ability to change, to let others into his heart. Kaido smiled, knowing he had found something precious high above the clouds—a friendship that made him strong.
