Rose-Xiao Long Home: Island Of Patch

Outside of a home on the island of Patch, a man can be seen playing with his two daughters. They are running around, laughing and smiling, having the time of their life. The man picks up his daughters and runs around with both of them on his shoulders. He falls backwards playfully and begins to roll around with his daughters making them laugh and giggle up a storm. Over to the distance, looking through the window of their home, a young boy with silver eyes and red and black hair watches the fun. He walks away from the window and fixes the beanie on his head as he begins wrap up and treat the wounds on his body.

"It still hurts" the young boy says as he touches his left eye, revealing that it is damaged and no longer has a pupil

The boy continues to treat his wounds and alleviate the pain of all his bruises and other injuries. The boy who is no more than 6 leaves the living room and heads up stairs to his room, if you could even call it that. Up in the dusty, dark and damp attic, the young boy sits down and looks out through the small window that let's light inside the attic. He sees his so-called father continue run and play with his siblings.

"Looks like fun" the young boy says to himself with a sigh

All of a sudden, you hear the stomach of the young boy rumble and growl causing the young boy to fall back and grab his stomach in pain

"I haven't eaten in weeks, I thought I'd already adapted to surviving longer without food" the boy says to himself as he continues to hold himself from the pain

Eventually, the boy crawls over to a torn up sleeping bag with a mold filled pillow and pulls out a can of peaches. The boy doesn't have a can opener or anything else to open up the can so he tries to use his finger to open up the can.

"Come on already" the boy says as he struggles to open up the can of peaches

Eventually, the boy is able to use what strength he has and jams his finger through the lid of the can, cutting up and breaking his finger in the process

"It hurts" the boy says as he tries to stop himself from screaming from the pai

The boy pulls his wounded finger out of the can and is then able to peel the lid of the can back. As the boy quickly eats the peaches from the can, he looks down and sees that his finger is fully healed and all that is left is a small scar.

"Maybe they won't notice a new one" the boy says to himself as he finishes eating the peaches

Downstairs, the boy heard the sound of the door opening and people walking inside

"Hey you little shit stain, get down here and make us some lunch" a voice from downstairs says to the young boy

"Hurry up, I'm starving" another voice from downstairs
