...Tom started to run away, he pulls his hood on his head as it's still raining. He still doesn't know what to think about the strange man, he seemed okay, but he still doesn't have a good feeling about him. He seemed scary. He still thinks about the news...The thought of their fans and their parents crying and being worried make him want to cry too...

After running for a while he stops at a park and sits on a bench, panting. He knows that the bench is wet from the rain but he doesn't care. Tom looks up and sees some trees and the cloudy night sky... He realizes how homesick he is actually. He remembers all the times him and his friends spent in parks... Like the time Bill's ice cream fell on the ground and a dog ate it... Or the time when Georg climbed up a tree but then fell and broke his arm... Or the time when they were laying on grass late at night, admiring the stars... He gets nostalgic, but also sad that he'll probably never experience that again...
All those thoughts vanish as he thinks about the robots and destructions... He looks at the ground.

Tom: "Damn those robots... Our home is gone now just because of some stupid robots! I just... I want everything back...!!" He mumbles as he tries to hold in his tears. He fails and starts sobbing uncontrollably while covering his face with his hands.

The strange man was apparently passing by the park while smoking. He sees Tom crying on the bench and feels a bit bad for him. He approaches him and sits next to him on the bench.

???: "Just let everything out, kid..." he says as he takes another cigarette.

Tom keeps crying, the man looks in his direction like he's waiting for him to stop crying so he could say something...

Tom: "Go away... *sob*"

???: "... Does my presence here bother your crying session?" He asks with a serious expression.

Tom: "I SAID GO AWAY!!" He shouts through tears.

Tom goes back to crying, the man puts a hand on his back, trying to give him some comfort.

???: "I understand you must've been through a lot... Being missing doesn't sound fun..."

Tom wipes his tears and looks at the man, his eyes are red from crying.

Tom: "Why are you here anyway...?"

???: "I just can't stand seeing someone cry... It breaks my heart..."

Tom is silent. He still is unsure about the man's intentions tho. He looks back at the ground.
The silence is broken by Tom's stomach grumbling again. He clutches it out of embarrassement. The man notices this and remembers when he offered to buy him some food but he refused.

???: "Don't you think it would be better if you had something to eat? You would absolutely feel better if you did..."

Tom doesn't respond.

???: "...I believe you haven't eaten in a long time, huh?"

Tom just nods, as he hasn't eaten in a few good hours. His stomach just keeps grumbling.
The man gets up and reaches his hand to Tom.

???: "Come on."

Tom: "It's a trap... I know it..." he says as he looks in the man's eyes.

???: "I'm doing this for your own good... If you want to starve that's fine by me... But I'm sure that you yourself would want to have some food in there..."

Tom thinks for a bit, he decides he can't take anymore of his stomach making noises, so he gets up accepting the man's offer and starts to follow him. The man takes him to his car and signals him to enter in it. Tom just stays there.

Tom: "I'm not entering..."

???: "Hey kid... It's fine, trust me."

Tom is a bit afraid... but after a while of doubting he enters the car. He thinks to himself "Well, if he tries to kidnap me then I'll just punch and kick him! It's no big deal...". He sits in the front seat next to the man, takes off his hood and puts on his seatbelt.
The man sits next to him starting up the car.
Tom's eyes look around the car, he feels his heart racing in fear that he might get kidnapped. He clenches his fist just in case.
The car starts to move slowly as Tom admires the view outside the window. All he can think about right now is if he'll get kidnapped or not, and food.
