So? It mattered. At least to Adam, he hated owing anyone anything. Even it was something as simple as a meal. He hated those so-called ‘handouts.’ In Adam’s world, nobody did anything for free. There was always some underlying, uncouth reason. Somebody always wanted something from somebody. There were no such things as acts of genuine kindness. He looked at the other again, at the comical way his pets seemed to mimic him.
[break][break]
At how apparent and kind-hearted this gesture was meant to mean.
[break][break]
There was a pause, and Adam listened to what the other had to say. Just being there with him was enough?
[break][break]
He didn’t like that either.
[break][break]
He didn’t immediately follow when the pet shop owner left the alleyway. Instead, he looked at the empty spot that the being called Earth-chan had once occupied. There was still something wrong and unnerving about this new world they inhabited. It was nothing Adam immediately liked, but there was nothing he knew he could do about it, either. As he said, this was a game, and he had to play it. They all had to play it. He meant to play it solo.
[break][break]
But for some reason, others believed that wasn’t how the game was meant to be played. As he watched the youth’s back, Adam felt that pang of loneliness hit his heart. That was the one familiar feeling he knew. And perhaps he was reminded of all those times he would look at the backs of others a long time ago. Of standing at the window, of watching the other kids at the orphanage who got adopted, who got praised, who were wanted.
[break][break]
What was wrong with being unwanted?
[break][break]
He walked out of the alleyway, keeping his pace so he could walk past the packs of animals who walked with the other dark-haired youth.
“Adam.” He suddenly said. “My name’s Adam.”
[break][break]
He owed the other a name.
[break][break]
“I’m not taking this as some sort of freebie.” Adam continued, “I’ll owe you something for this.” His matter of fact tone seemed deadened to the idea of kindness for the sake of it.
[break][break]
He lifted his hand in a small gesture. And suddenly a holographic message would pop up in front of Min-su.
[break][break]
