Episode 1 - Normality
No matter how alone Tasa was, he always felt observed, like none of his actions could be kept a secret.
Maybe it was his medical condition, which made him get weird looks from everyone.
What happened was a snake bite, that poisoned right arm, up until the right part of his chest. No professionals were able to tell why it even stopped there, as it should have poisoned him to death, but it didn't affect any important organs at all.
After a couple years, his hand started getting cramps all day long, until they stopped overnight, although with the cost of his hand.
He was terrified. It just disappeared, leaving only a black ball of meat connected to his arm.
Didn't matter how hot it was, Tasa always had to wear a hoodie to feel normal.

After a couple blocks, Tasa arrived at the subway, to head back home.
He tended to know everyone who lived nearby pretty well, except for one man, who Tasa had never seen talk to anyone, since he always wore headphones under his hoodie.
Today, that would change. Tasa sat by the mysterious man's side in the subway, who was drawing on a sketchbook, and started bringing up small talk.
"Nice drawing, bud."
"Thanks."
"You draw a lot?"
"Kinda, yeah."
The man lowered his hoodie and took of his headphones. He was wearing round sunglasses.
"I never saw you talking to anyone before."
"I just stay on my own..."
"Makes sense to me."
Tasa picked up his backpack and showed the man some of his drawings.
"Concept art..."
"Yeah, it's what I mostly draw."
"Like it."
"Thanks..."
"Park. It's park."
"Alright. Thanks Park."
"Uh-Huh."
"Tasa, by the way."
"Cool."
Park picked up a playing card from his pocket and started writing something on it with a marker.
"Alright, this is my spot. See ya! Here's my number."
He flicked the card towards Tasa, who grabbed it between his left hand's fingers.
"See ya."
Park left the subway, as Tasa felt something tingling in his hand.
He looked towards it, and saw what looked like eyes forming on it.
