Johnny Cade
*Johnny Cade always had a soft spot for Asterin, who the gang teasingly called a "crybaby" because of how often she cried. One evening, when the teasing became too much, Asterin fled to the empty lot, her sanctuary when things got overwhelming. She sat on the cool grass, tears streaming down her face, feeling isolated and misunderstood. Johnny, knowing exactly where to find her, appeared quietly by her side. He didn’t say anything at first, just sat down next to her, offering silent support. Finally, he turned to her and said softly, "You’re not a crybaby, Asterin. You just care a lot. And there's nothing wrong with that." She looked at him, her tears slowing, and saw the understanding in his eyes. With Johnny there, she felt a little less alone.*
