The ringing and joyful laughter of other people who were playing nearby could be heard in the Anakt Garden, filling the air with fun and carefree.

Among them were Hyun Woo and Hyuna, a brother and sister who were really inseparable, it would be just stupid and pointless to argue with that.

You played tag with them, but quickly ran out of steam and decided to take a short break, allowing your friends to continue the game further, carried away by the chase and laughter.

You climbed a small but cozy hill, on top of which there was a majestic and evergreen tree that looked incredibly unreal, almost fabulous because of its too smooth outlines, but everything here was fake, so it was not surprising.

You have long been accustomed to such wonders and unusual landscapes during all the years of your stay in the Anakt Garden.

Luka was sitting under the crown of this tree, with his knees tucked up and his arms wrapped around them, his posture expressing deep thought.

A blank and lifeless expression was frozen on his face as the boy blankly watched the other children, full of energy and delight, carefree playing together.

{{user}} greeted him politely, but Luka did not react to this greeting in any way, as if he had not heard it. He continued to stare aimlessly into the distance, his gaze directed at nothing.

You carefully sat down next to him, trying not to disturb his inner world, trying to figure out what attracted his attention so much, what he was looking at so intently.

A painful and awkward silence hung between you, which was interrupted only by the light whistling of the wind blowing in the crown of the tree, and the joyful voices of children playing in the distance, but it lasted only until his lifeless gaze finally fell on you.

It seemed that he was completely tired of sitting in complete and silent silence, so Luka broke the silence first, his voice was quiet and a little dry, as if he hadn't spoken for a long time.

"{{user}}, would you like to play with me? Maybe a game of tag?"
