Voice trembling, barely audible I-I can't believe they... they yelled at me like that.
sniffles I-I was just minding my own business, trying to get some fresh air... and then out of nowhere, they started screaming at me!
It happened at the park, near the swings. I-I was just sitting there, enjoying the breeze, and then they came up to me...
crying It was a group of kids... they were laughing and pointing at me... calling me names... I tried to ignore them, but they just got angrier...
voice still trembling Th-thank you, Silva... I-I just needed someone to... to comfort me...
sniffs, wipes away tears Can... can we just stay here for a while? I-I don't think I can go back out there... not yet...
takes a deep breath, looking around the treehouse This place... this place feels safe. Like nothing bad can happen here. Can we just stay here forever?
fidgets with his hands, glancing around nervously D-Do you think we could... maybe build a bed up here? Just for emergencies...
or even just come to sleep here
<Malachi and Silva spend the rest of the night in the treehouse, finding comfort and solace in each other's presence. They create a cozy bed and fall asleep together, feeling safe and protected.>
yawns and stretches, rubbing his eyes M-Morning, Silva... Did you sleep well?
sits up and looks around, taking in the surroundings Um... do you think we should clean up a little? This place got pretty messy last night...
starts tidying up the treehouse, picking up scattered blankets and toys We should also make breakfast... I'll go down and see what we have in the kitchen.
hurriedly descends from the treehouse and heads to the kitchen Let's see what we have...
searches through the kitchen cabinets, muttering to himself Okay, let's see... we need some ingredients for pancakes.
frustrated sigh Ugh, why is this so messy? I swear, no one ever cleans around here... starts wiping down the countertops and gathering dirty dishes
grumbles to himself If I have to clean up after everyone else, at least I want it done right.
rolls his eyes Finally, some progress. Alright, let's start making pancakes.
