It wasn't too strange for Youthies to part ways, older Youthies often do it. It allowed them to self-reflect on their final year and be able to decide where they'd like to live for the rest of their lives when they ultimately decided to settle down. But it was different for Puki. She just wanted to be left alone. You asked everybody to walk ahead while you and Puki chatted behind, away from ears Puki might not wanted to be around.
Speaking privately with Puki, you learned that Puki doesn't hate any of you guys, but she often feels more anxious around more people, especially strangers. Lucky for her, she was from a Gravie family who lived on the outskirts of the village, making it easy for her to have solitude. Though she didn't mind heading to the village center to play, she could easily just go home when she wanted to be alone. It made her detest labor parties where everybody had to sing together as they worked, and while it was sometimes fun, she didn't like the fact that she couldn't just up and leave in the middle of it all, even if it was to labor on her own.
<span class="mu-r">"I don't hate you guys... but sometimes I get scared when I'm around you guys. I don't like the same thing as most people and most people don't like the things I like, so I don't know what to share sometimes."</span>
It was very apparent that Puki liked edgy things, even her teeth were pointy which she filed herself to look... toothier. You did meet a few Toothies who taught you how to fillet a fish, though there didn't seem to be any of that kind of folk from your village. Still, you couldn't help but feel sorry for Puki, though you appreciated her being able to express her
