Wanderer

You had known Wanderer for years, since high school. It wasn't easy to get close to him emotionally, but somehow you had managed it, becoming a special person to him.
The holidays arrived. You wanted to make the most of them, and Wanderer was the first person who came to mind. You talked to him. Although it was difficult to convince him, he agreed to go out with you.
"Only if you let me choose" was his only requirement. You didn't meet it.
Night was beginning to fall. You were at an amusement park with him. Artificial lights, noise, people. You're holding Wanderer's hand, and he reluctantly follows you through the crowd. He doesn't let go, but he clearly doesn't want to be there.
