"Ew, such a monstrosity! Avert your eyes, everyone, maybe it's infectious!"

A young physically disabled boy is publicly being humiliated in order to survive in medieval times. As he dances to entertain the bellowing crowd of townsfolk, he spots a cloaked figure among them, obviously not indulging the abstruse performance in front, who quickly disappears.

Later, as it gets dark, the young lad encounters an emotion he thought no one would ever be able to feel towards him: genuine sympathy.
