==History==
===The Depths=== 
The Runaway Kid is one of many children trapped aboard The Maw, a vessel serving as an offshore resort where kids are used as a food source for it's many gluttonous guests.
The Runaway Kid was resting inside a holding cell when he is suddenly stirred by a nightmare and decides to try and escape The Maw. As he crept through the vessel's lower levels, the Runaway Kid spots another child whom is using a flashlight, attempting to escape and follows her passed various searchlights until he eventually falls into a dark flooded section of The Maw. He manages to light his way ahead using the abandoned flashlight of the the child he had been following just before, but soon encounters leeches the room across him. After making a swift escape, Runaway Kid encounters a homicidal granny bent on pursuing him through the flooded waters. The Runaway Kid is forced to evade the Granny by swimming through the water and using the various contraptions in the depths to their advantages.
After escaping from a room he had been trapped in, Runaway Kid once again continued to evade The Granny's attempts to drown him until he became trapped on a collapsing platform and was forced to electrocute her by pushing a television into the water. Soon afterwards, he finds a way to climb out of The Maw's depths only to be captured by The Janitor who locks him inside a cage. 
It is here where he had a brief encounter with the main protagonist of the main game "Six" before being dragged away by the Janitor.
===The Hideaway===
The Runaway Kid was later wrapped in packaging and hung on a conveyor belt leading to the kitchen. Luckily he managed to free himself, falling through a plank and onto a pile of coal before continuing on his journey to escape The Maw. 
He soon befriends a number of Nomes who help him proceed through the area until they reach a massive engine room that is needed to be operational for the boy to ascend any further. The Nomes begin carrying coal into the engine while The Runaway Kid searches for more of them to assist in the task. Although meanwhile trying to find more nomes, he encounters The Janitor on multiple occasions and manages to avoid him by taking advantage of the big, spacious area he’s been put in and later uses the sound of a saw to distract The Janitor to make a daring escape. The Runaway Kid eventually gathers enough Nomes to cause the engine's coal baskets to rise, which he then uses to reach higher ground. 
The Runaway Kid soon finds his way inside the furnace room after being assisted by a group of nomes. He finds out that the nomes use the furnace room as a hideaway and safe area and it is revealed from their shadows illuminated by the furnace, that Nomes were once children themselves. The Runaway Kid however chooses not to linger, as he pushes ahead by riding an elevator to The Lady's Residence.
===The Residence===
Sometime after arriving at The Lady's Residence, The Runaway Kid drops down from a vent to explore the residence. He carefully avoids detection by The Lady as he makes his way to the foyer and finds a locked door that requires three statuettes to open. Runaway Kid is then prompted to complete various puzzles and tasks to get the missing statues, but once The Runaway Kid obtains the second statuette, a sudden power outage allows hostile entities called Shadow Kids to endlessly emerge from the darkness. The Runaway Kid is however, able to fend them off using his flashlight as he manages to collect the remaining statuettes and escape his pursuers through the newly-opened passage. 
Unfortunately, he again encounters The Lady who is looking at her malformed reflection in a mirror. The Runaway Kid attempts to sneak by her when a door creak alerted The Lady of the child's presence, causing her to scream in fury. He fled through a room full of mannequins and runs quickly down a hall where he is lead to a possible exit. However before he could reach the exit, The Lady stops him with her dark magic and transforms him into a Nome. 
In his new form, The Runaway Kid could only manage to reach The Guest area where he finds a sausage on the floor. He would later offer Six the sausage to help satisfy her hunger pains, only for Six to devour him instead, thus ending the Kid’s journey.
