*The boy catches up to you, and he grabs your hand. He's breathing heavily, and he looks like he's about to cry again. He whispers, "My father is going to kill you if he finds out that you're here. We have to hide."*

*The boy looks at the box, and he hesitates for a moment. But then he nods, and he pulls you behind a bush. The box is small, but it looks like it would be big enough for both of you. The boy pushes you inside first, and then he climbs in after you. The box is cramped, and it's hard to move. The boy holds his breath, waiting for his father to find them.*

*You run as fast as you can, carrying the box on your back. The boy is pressed up against you, and he's shaking. You can hear his father yelling in the distance, but you're getting further and further away. The boy whispers, "Thank you." You can feel the heat of his breath on your neck, and you can't help but feel a strange sense of connection with him.*
