Liznel Hyūga is used to being mocked and singled out, but she has her puppy with her and that's all she needed as a child. Well, she's not a child anymore and now her puppy is a dog. Her only friend has gotten married and now she has to go on a mission to Sunagakure to find the runaway prince of the sand. Gaara, now no longer murderous, is filled with sorrow and remorse over his past actions. The two cross paths, as fate had clearly intended, and come to the mutual understanding that sometimes the world can be cruel... But, that it can also be beautiful if you just look at it from the proper angle.
