The voice of an adult man from Fredrick made the Boy worry. He was too fixated on Jilly, so he didn't notice Fredrik approaching. The boy's imagination immediately began to draw an adult man. In different images. It's not a pleasant feeling. Considering how many people like him were yelling at him, threatening or kicking the Boy. The boy began to tremble and moved a little to the side closer to Jilly and Potty. When he tried to move aside, he almost tripped because he forgot to use a stick to guide him. Fortunately, he was able to lean on the stick again "Ah!". It was obvious that the Boy was leaning on a stick with both hands, because this is the only thing he feels all the time and is afraid of losing it. So he doesn't understand how he became blind. But he doesn't talk about it. Although some attentive people might calmly say that I don't use a stick like ordinary blind people. [@Scarcerushdown]
