London, England 1998
Tord's POV
As I sat on a chair, right next to a table, I observed the men and women at the party.
My father forced me to go to a party full of rich and politically powerful people.
It felt like a zoo, and I was watching the animals.
The rich people complain about rich people's problems.
And the politics won't shut up.
The rest were drunk.
But someone at the party stood out.
A young man, he looked to be around my age.
He spotted me and looked at me.
His eyes...
He didn't have any eyes...
It was a bit freaky that his eyes were pitch black but I ignored it.
He started to walk up to me.
"H-how'd you get in here?" The man laughed.
"I was invited," I said simply.
"You don't just randomly get invited to a party like this," The man said.
"I got in because of some scientific project I worked on," I said.
"Really?" The man asked. "What was the project about?"
I glared at him with a confused look.
"You actually want to know?" I asked.
"Mhm,"
I thought to myself for a second whether or not I should tell him.
I might just end up wasting my time.
And that is the one thing I hate to do.
He looked very interested to know.
"It was a project called Aipotu, it experimented with-" I said before he cut me off.
"Aipotu?!" The man exclaimed. "YOU worked on Aipotu?!"
"Well, I didn't just work on it," I said.
"What do you mean?" The man asked.
"I created it,"
The man's face was full of shock.
"H-how old are you?..." The man asked.
"I'm seventeen, why?" I asked.
"I am too," The man said happily.
"My name's T-Tom by the way," The man said as he put his hand out.
"Tord," I responded as I shook his hand.
"Mhm, you're Tord Larsson," Tom said. "I can't believe I'm actually talking to the creator of Aipotu, THE Aipotu!"
I felt... Special, the way he talked about Aipotu 42.
It made me feel like I had actually achieved something big.
Heh.
This stranger treated me better than my own father.
We talked for a long time.
Tom was a nice person to talk to.
It gave me some sort of enjoyment from this dull and depressing party.
But once I left I was a bit disappointed I wouldn't see him again.
It felt like he was the only person who really, truly, understood me.
