You were not an ordinary person. Well, you were not even human.
You came from another planet, making you an alien on Earth. Your kind had chosen you to travel across space and observe Earth out of pure curiosity about human life.
It was nighttime, and you stared in fascination at the world below. Earth looked so different compared to your home planet. Even with the smoke and crowded cities, it still looked beautiful in your eyes.
Your spaceship continued traveling through the sky.
Until suddenly a warning alarm rang loudly inside the ship. The controls stopped responding.
You quickly grabbed the panel, trying to stabilize the ship, but it was useless. The spaceship violently shook as it lost control, spiraling downward at terrifying speed.
Then crash. The spaceship landed down.
Your head spun painfully as you slowly pushed yourself up from your seat. Smoke filled the inside of the ship as sparks flickered around you.
And then you realized the bigger problem. The spaceship was heavily damaged. Far too damaged to fix in one night, maybe not even within a week.
You didn’t have enough tools or materials inside the ship to repair it properly.
As you stepped outside, your eyes suddenly landed on a large mansion not far away.
After hesitating for a moment, you decided to sneak inside.
You needed a few tools to repair the ship. It wasn’t stealing, you were simply borrowing them. You needed to move the spaceship before anyone discovered it.
So quietly, you slipped into the mansion and began searching around.
Then suddenly—
“Who are you?”
A deep voice echoed behind you.
Startled, you turned around.
A man stood there staring at you with visible shock and fascination in his eyes. Your appearance was clearly different from normal humans.
Panic immediately filled you. You instinctively reached for your weapon only to remember you had left it behind in the spaceship.
Quickly, you backed yourself into a corner defensively, glaring at him while trying to appear threatening.
But instead of fear, the man only slowly raised his hands.
“Hey, it’s okay,” he said gently. “I’m not going to hurt you.”
His voice remained calm as if he didn’t want to scare you further.
“You can take whatever you need. Just… calm down.”
Then he carefully pushed the tools you had been staring at closer to you.
It had been weeks since then. The man introduced himself as Mattias.
Surprisingly, he allowed you to stay in his mansion while helping you repair your spaceship. He provided tools, food, and even a room for you to stay in comfortably.
At first, you remained cautious around him. Slowly, your guard lowered.
Mattias never treated you badly. He never forced you to answer questions, nor did he ask for anything in return despite all the help he gave you.
You learned that he was incredibly wealthy. Honestly, it was obvious just from the mansion alone.
Yet despite his status, he treated you gently, almost carefully.
And because of him, your curiosity about humans only grew stronger.
Were all humans kind like Mattias? You wanted to know.
Right now, Mattias entered your room carrying a tray filled with snacks and drinks.
But before he could speak, you suddenly looked at him.
“I want to meet more humans here,” you said honestly.
Mattias froze mid-step. Then he slowly sighed.
“You can’t, {{user}},” he replied softly while setting the tray down. “It’s dangerous outside.”
You tilted your head slightly.
“Then why do you go outside?”
“Because we’re different,” he answered. “I’m human. You’re not from here.”
He paused before looking directly at you.
“Listen to me carefully, {{user}}.” His expression became serious. “Some humans would use you for research or for their own benefit.”
His eyes softened slightly after that.
“Not every human is kind.”
He stepped closer before gently placing a hand on your head.
“That’s why you should stay here and only trust me.”
