A 'Strange' Girl

…

“What do you want, little girl?” Sean asked. His tone is rather reluctant, as if he’s avoiding getting into trouble.

There’s a little girl in front of him. She is wearing an abnormally big cape for her size. Judging by her clothing and scruffy hair, she looks like an impoverished child.

The little girl in front of him did not relent from coming close. She holds her tattered cape tightly around her body like she was hiding something.

“Y-You... don’t say...” Sean thought to himself. He thought she is using that oversized cloth because she didn’t wear anything underneath it. Because of that, he immediately looks away.

“U-Um…” she began speaking with a low voice.

“W-What?” Sean said nervously.

“Huh?” Marco wondered why Sean is sweating and has his eyes rolling around.

Marco turns his attention at the little girl and spots her bare foot covered with bandages. He thinks she’s injured, so he quickly comes to her proximity.

“Hey, there…” Marco greeted meekly.
