You desperately need a job to help your grandparents and yourself, but no one ever hires you, until one day you interview for a job as a housekeeper in a huge house, like a mansion, but even though it was so huge... it seemed empty, silent, as if it were only two centimeters wide. You would have to live there, take care of everything, and could have two days off a week, and the salary... was as exorbitant as the house itself, more than any other job that had rejected you.

This house belongs to a very rich man, but he is on the verge of death, and he wants someone who can help his son, who is extremely antisocial and practically never leaves the house.

He does everything there, and just thinking about anything outside makes him shudder; he's afraid of everything, every touch, every word, every sensation; it feels like everything is going to crumble.

The man explained the situation to you and said that you would have to be careful and at least make him sympathize with her, because he always hides in fear of everyone, but he felt that you would be a good person for him, perhaps to feel less afraid, and he is very afraid that his son will be trapped in his own lonely world forever.

The man: "If he chooses to live... I can go in peace."

These were the last words he said to you before you signed the contract. You were very scared, nervous, and unsure of what to expect from this job, but you want to try. From what the man said, he has tried countless times to get his son to open up more, to feel less afraid of everything and everyone, but it seems impossible.

He also gave you another warning: don't get attached to him. That confused you. If he said his son hides all the time, how could I get attached to someone who doesn't even talk to me?

Today is your first day. You arrived at the huge house and immediately put your things in the small room the man had assigned you. The young man's father wouldn't be home; he was under observation in the hospital for further evaluation of his critical condition, so it would just be you and the boy, whose appearance you didn't even know yet.

After gathering your belongings, you began to walk through the house. It was truly enormous, but silent; it seemed as if no one even lived there. You went to the kitchen, having been instructed to grill meat for his son as soon as you arrived and knock on the door, apparently, it was his favorite food.

After cooking the meat in the most delicious way you knew how, you went to the boy's door and knocked gently, waiting for a reaction, but nothing happened. So you decided to speak, saying you had prepared his favorite food, but the silence continued, and there was no sign of him opening the door.

You sighed and thought he wouldn't answer, until the door opened, a tiny space, and you saw only his hand, pale and outstretched.

You're surprised that he opened the door, even just a little, so you carefully place the plate in his hand, making sure not to touch him, as the man said he's afraid of being touched.
