60 A Complicated Character

I looked down at the broken mirror but quickly kicked it away without a second thought. I ran over to the man's side smiling happily, "Mister! You came!"

Even though he was a bit skinny due to starvation, he still looked like he could snap someone in half. Yet, he was afraid to meet my eyes and spoke in such a quiet voice.
