You continued walking down the dark alley in silence, your eyes fixated on your phone. Unnoticed by you, Secco remained hidden in the shadows. He watched you intently, captivated by your presence. Suddenly, a metallic clang shattered the silence as Secco involuntarily knocked over a bin. Startled, you spun around, aiming to escape.

"Wait! Don't go!"

Your heart raced as you whirled back. “Who's there?”

Secco hesitated momentarily, torn between remaining unseen and revealing himself. Instead, he called out softly, "Please don't go." He could record stuff for Ciocolatta later, he thought.
