Why won't they change the picture?
The photographed girl is all soul. She has lost a mother, a best friend, a library full of books and kind elderly mentors. She trusts people who say they will shelter and feed her. She thinks, if she works hard, people will forgive her deformity.
She doesn't resemble Nico Robin at all.
Get your criminals straight, she thinks. You think this little girl is me? She's not; she's dead; I killed her. You made me kill her, slowly, year by year. My first assassination.
Change the picture. You'll never catch that little girl again.
