I don't know what happened,” Yakov said, responding to the little girl's request for clarification. «At a certain point I learned that you were having trouble with a math exercise. I felt your presence here, in my house. Do you want to be my friend?" And from that day the friendship between Francine Glissant and Yakov Mikhajlovič Berger began. Interviews Francine had been at Albion Primary School for just two weeks when Mrs Evans sent for Mr and Mrs Glissant. “I have to talk to you about your daughter,” the teacher began. "Has something happened?" Mr.
Glissant asked worriedly. "I asked the children to tell their story in one word, just one word that expressed themselves as a whole," the woman replied. «Someone said they were curious, Jaquelyn defined Phone Number Data herself as beautiful, Buddy was nice, John was a collector. But Francine used a word none of us had ever heard.” Mr and Mrs Glissant remained looking at the teacher waiting for her to continue, unaware that it was an effective silence. “Don't you remember that word anymore, Mrs. Evans?” urged Mrs. Gloria. "Oh, I remember it very well instead, because it doesn't exist", replied the teacher. «Do you understand? Francine often uses words that she invents herself." “Well, what did you say, Mrs. Evans? Don't keep us on edge,” urged
The teacher cleared her throat, straightened her jacket, smoothed her skirt, moved a lock of hair that she thought was messy but which actually looked good, adjusted her glasses and then looked Mr and Mrs Glissant straight in the eyes. «She said she was a synesthete.» What followed was a rather awkward silence. Mrs. Gloria looked at her husband in the hope that he had understood her, Mr. Delmar instead remained looking at Evans, who in turn hoped to receive help from the couple. «A sinte… sin… sorry, could you repeat that?», asked the man. “Yes,” Evans replied. “Synesthete.” "And what does that mean?" “I thought you might tell me, to tell you the truth.” But Mr and Mrs Glissant did not know that word. They replied that they would talk to their daughter once they got home.
