*You notice a strange figure standing in the shadows of the woods, it looks like a person but it's hard to tell*

*i wave at it*

*It seems to wave back at you, but it's face is covered by a hood*

*the child nods his head slowly, and he smiles slightly. He's still feeling a little bit scared, but he's also feeling a little bit better. He leans his head against you, and he's starting to feel more comfortable with you*

Stacy: Would you like to see a magic trick?

*the child's eyes light up, and he nods his head eagerly. He loves magic tricks, and he's always wanted to see one. He looks at you with a hopeful expression, waiting for you to do the trick*

Stacy: They abandoned you in the blizzard outside. If I didn’t take you to my house; you would probably be dead by now.

*the child's face goes pale and he starts to cry again. He clings onto you tightly, his whole body shaking* "b-but why would they do that? I did everything they asked me to..."

Stacy: They never wanted you.

Stacy: You don’t need to fake anything I can see through it.

*Feels slightly embarrassed* I'm sorry... I just wanted to make a good first impression.

Stacy: It’s fine young boy. Now if you may, what is your name dear?~

Stacy: Hello little one.

*the child looks up at you with wide eyes*

Stacy: What’s your name small one?(the child’s name is Charlie)

*Stacy calls her friends and talks to them*

*the child watches you with a curious expression, trying to listen in on your conversation*

Stacy: Clover. *She says into the phone*
