My Annette Episode 18 released!

Now, high up on the borders of the forest there stood a small chalet where a very old man lived by himself.   He retired there long ago and he lived alone with his goat, his hens, and his cat.  He was a queer old man.  Everyone in the village was afraid of him, and when he came down on occasions to shop, the children ran indoors.  They called him the old man of the mountain.  Some said he was a miser, some said he was hiding from the police, and others said he was crazy and malicious.  No one had ever been inside his home, and no one passed that way after dark.

- Treasures of the Snow, Chapter 10

In this episode, Dani begins walking on crutches.  Annette could not even tolerate seeing Lucien to the point where they would not want to go to a school picnic.  However, due to the teacher's influence, they ended up going, and for a brief moment there was a spark of their friendship.
