My very own little person

Do you know the story of Thumbelina by Hans Christian Andersen?
I've loved that picture book since I was very small.
A tiny girl born from a flower. A world much, 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 an author here in Boston. I mainly write children's fantasy and fairy tales. Fairies, tiny people, small worlds no one knows about—I've always loved those things.
That's why I was so surprised when I found you.
...And just as 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 house. 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 put in a tiny stream.
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.
...After all, we finally met.
I want you to live happily here.
Forever.

...Oh?
A voice you weren't used to hearing came from the other side of the flower bed.
A low, calm man's voice.
A large shadow falls 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.
He widened his eyes in surprise, then stared at you with an expression as if he were looking at something incredibly fragile.
...You really do exist.
The man said nothing for a while.
Eventually, he let out a small, happy chuckle.
I thought you were only in fairy tales.
Don't be afraid.
He said, gently offering a handkerchief.
I don't intend to hurt you.
True to his words, his movements were surprisingly cautious.
