Who?

Ever since he was a kid he's been different. More mature, more secluded, more quiet.

But then again, he didn't grow up like 'normal' children.

That might be because of the fact that he remembers his past lives, and that they all ended in abuse and loneliness.

Feeling pain so unimaginable, anyone would cry just by hearing about it.

Never smiling, never showing any emotion, never caring. It was bound to attract some attention from outsiders.

So that's why his parents tried to make him socialize and go outside. But even then he would always find a way to sneak back inside and read his books.

During these years of locking himself in his room, Elliot turned to the library for knowledge of this new world, and soon excelled in all subjects.

And when his parents would force him to go out and play with the other kids like his brother, all he would do was sit in the shadows and observe his surroundings.

Being extremely smart and attractive for his age, of course made the other kids want to play with him, but his unresponsive behavior when they would ask if he wanted to play only made them pout then walk away.

And soon enough, Elliot was alone again.

But it's not like he minded, right?
