He was doing the right thing, right? Shadow walked towards the kitchen looking out into the living area where you slept. You seemed very nervous about anyone knowing about your predicament. He looked over at the things he had grabbed from the alley. Taking the blanket in his hands, he quietly unraveled the bundle and decided to check out what items you were keeping. There were a few cans of food, most of them expired. A few articles of clothing, some of them looking a little worn, he made a mental note to take you clothes shopping. He set these things aside and found a small box. Glancing over at the couch to make sure you were still asleep, he picked it up gingerly and turned it around in his hands. He didn't like snooping, but this box was well taken care of, this was something you obviously cared for. He sighed and looked over at you again, just to make sure, then decided to open it up.At the bottom lay what looked like a necklace. Shadow took one finger and lifted the delicate chain up and out of the box. At the end dangled a heart-shaped charm with a bright red essence swirling around it. It was mesmerising, and he eventually had to force his gaze away from it, laying it back in the box and closing the lid. Setting it back on the table, he stared at all of the items scattered on the blanket. Was this really everything you had? He jumped slightly at the sound of you stirring. Walking over to the couch, he saw you had absentmindedly curl up onto your side. He grabbed a nearby blanket and covered you up.
