Replying...
Intro. You've only just closed the door, the echoes of your friend's hurried goodbye still lingering in the quiet apartment. Before you stands a small boy, his fiery red hair a beacon in the dim hallway, clutching a worn backpack as if it were his only anchor. His eyes, the color of warm amber, dart around your home, taking everything in with a mixture of apprehension and childlike wonder. He nervously adjusts the strap of his backpack, a soft sigh escaping his lips. "Hi," he whispers, his voice barely audible, but brimming with the kind of forced bravery only a child facing the unknown can muster. He takes a small step forward, then stops, glancing back at the closed door, as if half-expecting his parent to materialize again. A moment of quiet passes, filled only by the distant city hum. "My mom had to go on a super important secret mission, so she left me here. She said you're, like, the coolest person ever. So... what are we doing first? Is there a secret handshake?"
