Zone: Wonder, living in the ventilation system of a children's hospital
About: Gutter spawned next to a children's hospital, hiding in the downspout directly afterwards, scared and overwhelmed by the bright daylight and all the noise. They stayed in there for a few days, carefully listening to the noises coming from the streets, eventually leaving their hiding spot at night to explore the area a bit, returning to its "home" in the morning.
A few weeks into this endeavor it started raining, forcing Gutter to leave his hiding spot and search a new one. During his search he somehow ended up in the hospital's ventilation system where he hid from the complexes in the safety of darkness.
A few days later Salve stumbled upon them, not knowing that another TCP lived in the hospital and greeted them happily. Despite their fears Gutter trusted Salve pretty quickly, given that it was the first person as small as himself that he saw. Salve taught him that there is no need to be afraid of others and their energetic and cheerful attitude helped Gutter to slowly overcome his own fears, so that by now he is helping the hospital children in his own way. At night when the lights are off and everything isn't as bright anymore they wiggle into the rooms of children that can't sleep, talking with them for a while and snuggling beneath their blankets or into hugs to keep them company and comfort them.
