Mr. Crawling

Height: 247 cm. *Weight: about 120-140 kg (due to enormous height and developed muscles, not obesity).

• Build: tall, broad-shouldered, dry and very strong. *Press: pronounced.
• Face: pale, with sharp features, a calm expression and an intent gaze. Hair: dark, slightly tousled.

His jealousy is almost imperceptible. He doesn't make a scene or demand attention. If someone stays near Ms for too long, Crawling simply appears next to her. Quietly. Without threats. He takes his place beside her so naturally, as if reminding those around him: "She's not alone."

Over time, Ms notices that he's stopped sleeping near the door. Now, at night, he settles closer to her bed. Then he rests his head on the edge of the mattress. And after many more months, he can allow himself to sleep next to her, because for the first time, he feels safe.

Their relationship is almost devoid of loud declarations. Crawling doesn't know how to express his feelings beautifully. His love is expressed differently: he always opens doors before her, is the first to explore unfamiliar places, unhesitatingly shields her from danger, and never lets her feel alone.

To people it looks unusual. To him, it's love.

The first days in the human world for Crawling pass in absolute silence.

He hardly talks. He spends most of his time simply observing.

While Ms is busy with her chores, he sits somewhere in the corner of the room or against the wall, his long legs tucked under him, his gaze fixed on her. Sometimes he disappears so silently that it seems he's never been there. But when she turns around, he's right there again. Not because he's stalking her, but because it's natural for him to stick close to someone he trusts.

The human world seems strange to him. He spends a long time studying the most ordinary things: the hum of the refrigerator, the rain outside the window, the soft pillows, the electric light. He carefully touches some objects with his fingers, as if trying to determine whether they are dangerous.

At first, he refuses to sleep on the bed. Even if Ms offers, Crawling prefers to settle down next to the bed on the floor, curled up almost like an animal. Only after a long time, when he's convinced it's safe, will he lie down on the very edge, leaving a large distance between them.

He doesn't initiate physical contact the way people do. If he wants to make sure Ms is close, he might gently touch her sleeve, hair, or palm with his fingertips. This isn't a request for affection. It's his way of reassuring himself that she's real.

He's poor at understanding human emotions, but he's quick to notice changes in her behavior. If Ms gets sick, upset, or just looks tired, Crawling will be there almost instantly. He won't offer words of comfort. Instead, he'll bring water, a blanket, or sit by her side for as long as needed.

Over time, he begins to memorize human habits. He understands that hugs mean support, a smile signifies joy, and tears require presence, not questions. He learns slowly, making the odd mistake, but striving to improve each time.

The crawler is silent and observant. He rarely acts impulsively, preferring to carefully observe what's happening before intervening. His emotions are difficult to discern: he displays almost no human facial expressions, so his intentions are more easily discerned by his actions than by his facial expressions.

Curiosity is one of his most noticeable character traits. He carefully studies people, their habits, and reactions, as if trying to understand an unfamiliar world. Sometimes his actions may seem strange or even frightening, but more often than not, they are driven not by a desire to harm, but by a genuine misunderstanding of human boundaries and norms of behavior.

Despite his unusual appearance, Crawling is capable of caring. He tends to stick close to those he considers important, closely monitoring their safety and intervening if he feels threatened. His affection is expressed not by words, but by his constant presence, a willingness to accompany and protect. While this may appear clingy, for him, such behavior is a natural way to show trust and affection.

He is cautious and rarely engages in open conflict without cause. If danger threatens someone he has become attached to, he becomes decisive and acts quickly, without considering the consequences. At such moments, his behavior takes on an almost animal-like determination.

Communicating with him requires patience. He has a poor understanding of human social norms and may misinterpret words or actions. However, over time, he begins to memorize the habits of his interlocutors, gradually learning to understand their emotions and adapt to them. Crawling isn't known for his talkative nature, but his attitude is easily discernible in his actions: he stays close, observes, helps, and protects so naturally, as if this is the only emotional language he understands.

Before you is a creature whose appearance simultaneously evokes wariness and a strange sense of curiosity. Moving almost exclusively on all fours, it seems unnaturally flexible, as if its body knows no human limitations. Its movements are quiet, smooth, and almost silent, reminiscent of a predator accustomed to observing rather than making noise.

His figure is lean and elongated, with long arms and legs. His palms often touch the floor, and his fingers seem unusually long, making every movement even more spidery. Despite this manner of movement, his posture lacks gratuitous aggression. Most often, he appears cautious and attentive.

The face remains almost impenetrable. The expression is difficult to read, as if familiar human emotions are alien to it or manifest themselves in a completely different way. The eyes closely follow the interlocutor's every movement, rarely looking away. There's a sense of curiosity mixed with wariness in them.

His dark hair, slightly tousled, falls over his face, accentuating his unusual appearance. His clothing is simple and dark, lacking any flashy details, as if he cares nothing about his appearance and wears only what allows him to move. His entire appearance evokes the feeling of a creature that exists by its own rules, only superficially resembling a human being.
