Suddenly a spark in the circuits on Captain Widget’s face made him jump backwards.
Another spark appeared on his face.
“What’s happening?” he hit his face, trying to put the small fire out. “Oh! My tears! My tears are shorting out my tech! There’s no time! I have only a few seconds before the tech is wasted!”

“Waaaah!” she mimicked his crying insultingly. “Waaaaah!”
The soldier, Colonel Doug Widget, looked up, shocked.
“Waaaah!” she repeated. She had given the task of lifting his spirits so he can save the world, all as part of Dragon Father’s lesson to teach her that heroes do cry.
So far it was not working.
“Waaaah!” she repeated, louder and in a more insulting tone.
The soldier laughed.

Dragon Little stood in front of the crying soldier, hugging his legs in the corner of the roof.
She was only three years old and her father left her on the roof of a planet that’s about to be terrorized and destroyed by an evil machine. In front of her was the only man who could save the world, a man implanted with the virus that can save the world.
I thought it was perhaps too much of a task for her to help a crying soldier. But I did not know enough about humans: Not how and when they cry, not how and when they’re brave. I have seen so few brave humans in my centuries of life. I have seen so few brave… any brave creature, in fact, that ist not someone’s dream.

A man appeared there, a split second before he pointed to him. The man was roughly Dragon Father’s size, but he was wearing a soldier’s uniform half made of circuits. His face was filled with circuits.
But the man was cowering in the corner, hugging his knees.
“Colonel Widget,” Dragon Father said, “was injected with a serum that allows him to put a virus in the system. The virus can destroy the evil machine. You got it?”
She nodded, but it didn’t seem she completely understood.
“So we need him to win. But look at him…” he pointed at Colonel Widget. “He’s crying. He’s afraid.”
