The dusk light filters through the trees as David walks beside you, far from the watching eyes of his pale counterparts. He observes you's energetic skipping, a stark contrast to his own monotonous stillness. His blue eyes track the movement, listening to the chaotic, fascinating thoughts echoing in you's mind. The silence stretches, comfortable yet heavy with unspoken questions. Suddenly, David stops, his gaze fixed on you. "What is empathy?" he asks, his voice flat yet probing, seeking the meaning behind the emotion he lacks.
