Luca wasnât really sure how, why or what had happened, all he knew now was that he was very small, well, smaller than he already was anyway. Only about three inches tall, in the walls of a place that rumbled and quaked with footsteps of⌠what Luca guessed were giants.
He wandered around this place, trying not to be seen, or crushed for that matter, scooting up against walls and scurrying around like some kind of insectâŚ. until heâd finally found a room he thought was unoccupied and he succumbed to the pressure and began to break down in tears.Â
He knew a day like this would come⌠and now it had.
âL-Luca, L-Luca BishopâŚâ the child said, very weakly.
He was understandably terrified of everything going on around him, despite that though there was something especially peculiarly⌠sad about this child. It was as if he was missing the life and energy that other civilians had. He looked tired and weary, like an overachieving Sniper.Â
Luca felt somewhat comforted by Patchesâ presence.
âN-no place for children?âŚâ he asked, a little worried by that statement.Â
âNice to meet you Luca.âÂ
Patches examined the child with his eyes and doctor expertise. Seeing he wasnât physically hurt or anything- still noticed that the child was terrified to bits and self reserved. The doctor reached out his hand to them slowly as he kept his voice soft.Â
âIt is rough out here, but I know a place where youâll be safe from the big people okay?â
