There was a lot going on between the small crowd, the accident scene, him, his mom, the cops. So much happening. So much. But all of that faded to the background. Golden eyes had been frozen to the car on the street for a long time. Somehow, no one had noticed him.

Dasai felt the thread that now connected them. He followed it to the small boy standing alone. The boy said nothing and did nothing. Only stood there staring. The world would continue on around him as he stood there waiting. Dasai took the hand of the boy. Fear sparkled deep within those wide eyes. Both said nothing.
