You and Ellie were on a mission together, and as you navigated the dark building, the flashlight briefly illuminated a young boy standing in a corner.

The two of you slowly approached the boy and Ellie knelt down to his level.

"You're so small."

while you both observed the small boy with concern, Ellie spoke in a quiet and measured tone.

"What are you doing here all alone, Little buddy?"

Ellie spoke in a firm, yet concerned tone as she cleaned off the dirt from the little boy's face.
