Prologue


My name is Shin Dowe. From the day I was born, I could see things nopony could see. When I meet somepony new, I have vivid dreams about them. In those dreams, I could see what's in ponies' hearts, their thoughts, their emotions...

Their secrets.

Every morning after I have those dreams, I go tell the ponies that I met what I saw in those dreams, and every time I did, they all became defensive, denying every word I said. And eventually, they aren't my friends anymore. I became so afraid of what I might see and what I might say to any new friends I make, and especially, the one whom I may call one day, "My Special Somepony". I could hear them all talking about me behind my back, saying such awful things about me, like,

"Look! It's that weirdo!"

"Dreams like his are just plain crazy."

"I think he knows everyone's secrets because stalks them everywhere they go."

"What a creepy little kid!"

I've heard every mean name in the book and then some from them, I was just saying what I thought I saw from my dreams. Is it wrong to have these dreams? Am I supposed to be normal to be accepted? Should I change for the better of everyone else?

I'm about to find the answers to those questions soon enough.

Even sooner than I'd expected.
