New Best Friend?

The door opened.

Hugo had prepared himself for many things.

A mini version of Lily, with the same fierce eyes and athletic build? Sure.

A tiny evil scientist, plotting world domination? Very possible.

A little gremlin who had already judged him and sentenced him to death before even meeting him? Extremely likely.

But what he hadn't expected…

Was a boy in a wheelchair.

And at that moment, Hugo felt something inside him twist.

Oh…

Oh, damn…

Oh, I'm a terrible person.

His entire mental image of Billy—the evil, scheming, gremlin-like nemesis—completely shattered.

Because the boy in front of him wasn't some villain.

He was just a kid.

A cute kid, with messy black hair, bright brown eyes, and a slightly oversized hoodie that made him look even smaller than he actually was.

And the wheelchair…

Hugo tried not to stare, but he couldn't help it.
