Stella frowns "Don't be mean." Kaizah is angry, "You're the mean one! You don't care that it bothers me!" Stella stands up, she gathers her things, "Sigh. I'll go work from the kitchen." She then leaves the room. "You didn't close it!" Kaizah yells at her as she leaves.
He is sitting alone, upset, then he hears a POK sound as a baseball hits the glass of the window next to him. "The hell was that..." He goes out to look, "Whoa! It's you!" he says.

The young feral kid he met in the forest a few days ago is there, on the sidewalk, looking up at him with the baseball next to him. "You followed me here? This is crazy!" Kaizah says. The kid is frowning up at him. "And you're still making that face! You've got nothing to be mad about! We left you alone, just like you wanted!"
Suddenly, the kid starts crawling up the wall fast to get to the window where Kaizah is. Kaizah hurries to close the window "OH shit oh shit!". He closes it in time. The kid stares at him through the glass, frowning still. "This is a ninja! He got up here so fast! Did you come here to end me? You're too late. I just died." Kaizah explains through the glass. "You're seeing me as I was, but I'll probably disappear soon. If i don't, it means that you're dead too" Kaizah tells him. The kid is now sitting on the window sill, staring at him.

"So, what do you want?" Kaizah asks him. The kid makes a gesture with his hands. "What is that? Can't you talk?" Kaizah asks. The kid gestures again. "Oh, i think I get it! You want food right? That's what this gesture means! Hakazi equals food I guess! Hakazi is my name. Its an anagram of my human name."
Kaizah opens the window again then, "Youre way less aggressive than last time. Is it cause you were sick? You look ok now, that's good! You can come in if you want, but don't make a mess. Any day now, Stella's gonna kick me out, but I don't wanna get the boot today you know?" He says to the kid. The kid starts to enter the room, but then looks up at the ceiling.

"What's wrong? Why'd you stop?" Kaizah asks. The kid stares at the ceiling behind him. Kai looks back and sees the light on the ceiling that is still on. The kid hides one eye with his hand, looking annoyed. "It bothers you too huh? Heh, it's nice not to feel crazy!" Suddenly, the kid turns away from him and leaps off the window sill. "Hey! Hey wait!" Hakazi says, as he runs away.

@rek Your shading has improved so much! I enjoyed the story too, fantastic work. What do you do to keep the pages from smudging?

@rostiger I just insert paper inbetween the pages so they don't smear on each other, that's really it tho :P.
My hand does smudge it up a bit when I draw, but I try to build the shading from the top right frame to the bottom left frame to reduce smearing (I'm a lefty).
