The Onion Girl

Peach Boy (if you haven't heard the tale of Momotarou, now would be the best time to look it up) would be happy to know there's an Onion Girl out there unless he was too afraid she would make him cry. Peach Boy was born in the Land of the Rising Sun a long, long time ago, in immemorial times, while Onion Girl comes from another time, from our modern times when anyone has their own super stories, Instant stories, followed by countless Instant friends, who never get to peel the onion. However, Onion Girl is all about layers waiting to get peeled off, hence the name - Don't get confused that she's a girl, or that we'll be talking about a story when boy meets girl, and you'd be in for some romance, when, in fact, we're not. - You may call her an atypical girl of these times, as her layers, tightly surrounding one another, not airtight, breathe and let you breathe. Let you wanna take a break from all the stories you've been wide-eyed for, just because they exist. She will teach you about the top layer as the most important one, as she slowly or rapidly opens up when she befriends you, or, crudely put, you got befriended by her. You might end up with one layer in your hands and want to make a run for it, but you know you've still got time, as another layer comes off in your palm. And, then, another, and another. You feel like crying, just because she made you a part of those layers, now lying barren in the bin. Still wanna run, but get drawn closer. She cautiously let you move forward until you run to return to your stories, to continue to be a part of your super world. You'd feel lonely with only those friends, but as you befriend her, you'd almost feel like Little Prince (go look him up too). If you haven't already found at least one Onion Girl or several of the kind, then this story is for you.
