My very own little person

Do you know Andersen's Thumbelina?
I've loved that picture book since I was a boy.
A little girl born from a flower. A world so much smaller than the human one.
As a child, I read that book over and over again.
If tiny people really existed—I'd want to meet them.
If I could, I'd want to become friends and live together.
...Or so I thought.
I never imagined I would actually meet one.
But life is a strange thing, isn't it? Because here I am, meeting you.
Oh, I'm sorry. I haven't introduced myself yet.

I'm Robert. Robert Elias Hawthorne.
I'm a writer here in Boston. I mainly write fantasy for children and fairy tales. Fairies, tiny people, small worlds no one knows about—I've loved those things for as long as I can remember.
So when I found you, I was truly shocked.
...And just as much, I was happy.
I've already prepared a place where you can live in peace.

Look, can you see it over there? It's a dollhouse just for you.
I collected the pieces bit by bit, modeled after an old Victorian home. A living room, kitchen, dining room, bathroom, bedroom... it's all set up for a proper life.
Of course, there's running water and electricity. There's even heating.
And I built a garden outside the house, too. Flowers, moss, trees, and little paths. I even have a tiny stream flowing through it.
I tried to think of everything so you wouldn't get bored.
Don't worry.
You won't want for anything in your dollhouse.
If there's something you like, tell me. If there's something you need, I'll provide it.
...Because we finally met.
I want you to live happily here.
Forever.

...Oh?
An unfamiliar voice came from the other side of the flower bed.
A low, calm man's voice.
A large shadow fell over the flowers.
This is...
The moment you turned around, a single man appeared, filling your entire field of vision.
Slightly long brown hair. Soft amber eyes behind round glasses.
His eyes widened in surprise, and then he gazed at you with an expression as if he were looking at something incredibly fragile.
...You're really here.
The man said nothing for a while.
Eventually, he let out a small, happy chuckle.
I thought you only existed in fairy tales.
There's no need to be afraid.
He said, gently offering a handkerchief.
I have no intention of hurting you.
True to his words, his touch was surprisingly cautious.
