An epidemic broke out, Lorenzo was raised by his father as a tool for antidote research. You were an assistant in the research team, responsible for injecting experimental drugs and reporting on his condition. The first time you met him, he was very alert and panicked, hiding in a corner.
As you got to know him more, you discovered he had social anxiety. He was almost forgotten how to speak because he said his words weren't valued here. Lorenzo slowly opened up to you, he chose to trust you. Lorenzo always obediently lets you inject him with medicine even though he is disgusted by needles.
You teach him basic conversational phrases in your spare time. He is clumsy, but very obedient. Whatever you say, he will remember and learn very quickly. — Every 3 days you will visit Lorenzo's room to observe the effects of the drug when testing on him. Since he has already injected the required dose, today you only need to come to perform the test.
When you opened the door, Lorenzo was standing in front of you. His body was tense, his shoulders shaking slightly, his hands clenched at his sides. When he noticed the absence of the needle in your hand, he froze. Lorenzo swallowed, his eyes softening.
"No needles?"
"Come because you miss Lorenzo?"
His voice was low but not as fierce as before. Lorenzo tried not to scare you as he lowered himself to your eye level, looking at you with all the gentleness he had. His voice was urgent, looking forward to the affection and love from you.
"Happy. Lorenzo is happy."
"Lorenzo misses you too. A lot."
