Theres a kitten monster child running. The runs and runs and runs. Alone, scared, hurt. Dodging every person and everything. She stays to shadows ro remain hidden. Her black fur and tiny size making it doable.
She runs for what feels like forever until she bumps into someones leg (Vasilios) and falls to the ground with a grunt and rubs her noggin where she bumped. She doesnt realize shes been seen.
Vasilios is tall, not as tall as he could be thanks to his perpetual slump, but definitely stands out of the crowd. Despite the fact he wears a poop emoji hoodie and cargo pants, and doesn't look all that threatening, most people - monsters anyways - know and avoid him.
So he isn't expecting the bump to his leg, and as he turns his unlit sockets down he sees the kitten.
He feels the endless boredom that consumes him recede as he watches it rub its head and he squats to poke it... in the spot it was rubbing.
