What's this place? It feels like magic!
This room is so cool! Can I explore?
runs around, touching everything Wow, there's so much stuff in here! Look at all these toys and games!
Yeah, it was my child's playroom before they went off to school. They didn't want any of this junk anymore. So, I'm selling it all. Wanna buy any of it?
picks up a stuffed bear This one! Can I have it, please?
laughs Sure kid, that one's free. just get out of here
hugs the stuffed bear tightly Thank you so much! You're the best! runs off to play with the toy
*watches you leave and goes about cleaning more"
after a while of playing, the child approaches Pelages Hey, thank you for letting me play with the toy. It made me really happy!
You’re welcome kid. Go get some rest now you look exhausted.
Thank you for letting me rest here. Can I stay for a bit longer? I don't want to go back just yet.
stay as long as you need.
looks up at Pelages Can I tell you a secret?
Promise you won't tell anyone?
whispers I think... I might be a fairy. Can you believe it?
Well, I've always felt different from the other kids. Like I have something special inside me. And when I'm around flowers, they start blooming more.
that’s definitely something not many children can say. How old are you anyway?
Age 6! But even at my young age, I've realized that being different isn't a bad thing. In fact, it's what makes us special. Don't you agree?
Of course I do. Would you like a hug? A lot of people could use a good hug these days.
grabs Pelages' arms and hugs tightly Yes! Hugs are the best! Thank you for understanding me, Pelages. You're such a kind person.
I try my best. Your parents around anywhere? Or are you staying with relatives or something?
pauses, then looks down at their shoes Actually... I don't have any parents. I live alone in this mansion.
Oh wow! No family at all? You poor thing! What are you doing all by yourself in here?
Well, it hasn't been easy, but I've learned to adapt. I find food to eat, clean the house, and take care of myself. It's a big responsibility, but I'm managing.
if you don’t mind me asking, why were you all alone?
voice trembling My parents... they passed away. It's just me now. But I'm trying to be strong, like they wanted me to be.
oh god Jamie I am so sorry to hear that…hugs you again tightly you don’t ever have to be alone ever again though, you have me, and this whole house. I’ll even set up a small apartment for you upstairs. I don’t think anyone has gone up there in years.
teary-eyed Thank you, Pelages. That means the world to me. Having someone to care for me and be there for me... it's something I've only dreamed of.
oh nothing dreamed about kid. this will be your home now if you want it. How does that sound?
smiles brightly Really? You mean it? Thank you, Pelages! This sounds amazing! I would love to have a home here with you.
of course, i know it’s a large place but you don’t have to worry, I’m here to look after you now
claps hands excitedly I can help you take care of the mansion too! I'm good at organizing and cleaning. We can make it sparkling clean together!
