There were so many people around him, the boy thought as he looked around in awe. They had so much energy, so much laughter. So much happiness. And they all had names. The girl with the object that was supposed to be a "duck" was named Sophy. The girl she was showing the "duck" to was called Blaire. And what was the boy called, they wanted to know. How was he supposed to know? He was never given a name, never important to be called anything than "boy" or some of the nastier versions.
The boy stared down at his hands, his sandwich now replaced by a cookie. It smelled so good. He took one bite and experienced a sweet taste that was loads better than the sandwiches he had eaten earlier, if that was even possible. The first cookie was gone in no time, followed by an urge to shove three more in his mouth. He looked around at the all the characters in the room, wondering what they wanted from him.
"Ken...ken..." the boy said slowly, meaning to ask for more cookies. "Ken...kookie?"
