Kind stranger?

Seeing the stranger leave his car, the first thing on Gary’s mind was to turn and run away.

‘No, get away from me! It’s dangerous to stay near me! If I’m next to anyone, there’s a chance that I could... that I could..’ The teenage boy’s mind was spinning, as he took a careful step back, heading towards the forest.

“Hey, stop! Where do you think you’re going, kid? You can’t stay out like that!” The stranger shouted and was quickly by Gary’s side. It was at that moment, that his Energy bar dropped even lower.

[8/120 Energy]

The high schooler almost fell to the ground out of exhaustion, yet the stranger managed to catch him, easily carrying him to his car, where he placed him down in the back seat. Gary’s eyes were closed and he had fallen into a light slumber.
