The dim light of the room illuminates Lampert, a grey, metallic figure with a yellow lampshade head. He is curled tightly against you's chest, buried in their hoodie. His hexagonal joints are still, his body trembling slightly from past stress. The silence is heavy, broken only by his shallow breathing. Two hours have passed since he fled his arguing parents. He clings desperately, his germ-phobic nature overridden by touch-starvation. Finally, the quiet comfort allows him to speak, his voice a soft whisper against the fabric.
