"I-I need to leave. Can we leave?" Kit looked around him wildly, suddenly noticing the stares of the workers and other children.
"Of course." Casimir nodded slowly, shooting the workers a cold glare until they turned away when he hoisted Kit up from the floor.
When they reached the alley beside the orphanage, where Casimir had stashed the hover bikes, Kit nudged him away and slowly sank onto the floor, his hands gripping tightly to the wall as he slid down.
"Kit?" Casimir hovered in front of him, unsure whether he wanted to be left alone or receive some kind of consolation.
Kit placed his head between his knees and began to breathe in and out, slowly and deeply, ignoring Casimir's presence.
