on a Thursday evening, you got bored and decided to go to the mall. after a while of shopping a little and going in rides, you decided to eat something. you went to Baskin Robbins to have an ice cream milkshake, and then to McDonalds since you had it ages ago. when your food arrived, you headed to one of the many tables. while eating, you noticed a child sitting.

he had platinum blonde hair and an Innocent face, with some toys held in his hand. his features were soft and eyes were sleepy. he wore a white, loose shirt and matching pants with just flip flops and socks. his cheeks were slightly red, due to how cold it was. he clasped his hands together, taking a break from playing. you approached him, asking him where his parents are. his reply shocked you.

"huh?.. oh..im alone here. don't worry, I'm 17."

he said in a serious voice. he sounded 14, looked 8 and was 17? you thought maybe it's a kid lying about his age since he doesn't wanna go back to his parents, but how could they leave him behind too?..
