2013, J. K. Johansson, Laura Palokaski 1[3], →ISBN:Miia ajatteli Lauraa, joka oli keskittynyt pianonsoittoon koko lapsuutensa. Ilmeisesti aika tavis, mutta aavistuksen ernu intensiivisen harrastuksensa takia.- Miia thought of Laura, who had focused on playing the piano her entire childhood. Apparently kind of a normie, but a little bit of a standout because of her intensive hobby.
