Aaron hopped from a corpse to another corpse like a tiny monkey scavenging for food.
He worked with brutal precision and speed, harvesting their blood cores quickly.
Unluckily for him, the acid in their hearts had pretty much dried under the sun, exposing the toxin's blatant weakness.

Alyssa, after saving his life, became much more carefree around him and Aaron didn't stop her either.
She got so casual that she didn't even care about the personal space, grabbing his hair and tugging them as she climbed on his head.
She sat on his head, using his hair as support, sending light winces down his nerves as he growled at her to get down.
"Hehehe, I am taller than you. Bow before me, monster!" she giggled playfully, refusing to listen to his wishes to get off.
