Love will redeem itself - "Psychic Boy Norman"

I'm a kid and my name is Norman. I don't look any different from the other kids, but I do. I can see Piao.

My life has always been lonely. If everyone lacks time to get along with me, then I lack time to get along with other "people". I eat alone, attend classes alone, live alone, and have classmates. They don't understand me, not even my parents. I can only be alone, in my little world, with my dead grandma.

One day a little fat man wanted to be my friend. I saw his puppy who passed away, and we had a good time. At this time, my uncle—the uncle who could see a lot of A Piao like me, he told I will appease the cursed witch and he will die.

I was very scared, but I decided to do as my uncle said. Who would have guessed that five zombies were released by accident. After many twists and turns, I saw the witch - it turned out to be a little girl about my age... It turns out that the so-called witch's curse is nothing but a sad story caused by a misunderstanding. This witch is only afraid because of other people's misunderstanding.

When I look at her, I think of myself. Is it possible that at some point in the past, I also faced such a thing like her, and there would be some people who discriminated against me because of my differences? Lock me in a dark room and even try to kill me? Fortunately, she and I are not the same era after all, and I will never put myself into an extreme, the most important thing is that my family loves me very much, although many times, they do not understand me, but They love me and that's enough.

The reason why we can redeem ourselves is probably because there are people I love and people who love me in this world.
