Overcoming limitations
Namine hurt herself. It wasn’t bad, and we didn’t have to pay a visit to the hospital. It was Namine’s pride, I think, perhaps her self-esteem, that was hurt the most.

Namine’s outdoor adventures
Today was a fantastic day. We’re fortunate enough to have been able to come up to my aunt’s for the weekend, and the weather was superb today. Namine and I had the chance to go for a walk, and more.
