Being Placed & Tiny Size

Curious about this idea I have, but I'm thinking a part of it probably won't work. Though I would like to be clear on it. Simply. If a figure is placed either by TK or another means can a friendly Tiny Size figures tag along??

The wording makes me think it's not possible but I wanted to double check just in case I missed something.

The thought of a tiny size figure TKing out a figure then tagging along because he was adjacent does sound broken. Or better yet bat signal?

No. It does not work.

The Tiny Size ability allows larger friendly characters to use the carry ability to carry one tiny size character. Carry can only be used when a character is moving due to being given an action. However when a character is placed it is not moving so it cannot use the carry ability and thus a tiny size character cannot tag along.

Quote

Tiny Size
Modify this character’s defense value by +1 against ranged combat
attacks. A friendly character that is larger and adjacent can use the
Carry ability to carry up to one character regardless of its other
combat symbols, does not reduce its speed value for doing so and can
continue to use the Carry ability if it can normally. This ability can’t
be countered.

Quote

Carry
When moving as a result of being given an action, this character may carry one friendly character. When this ability is used, modify this character's speed value by –2 until the end of the action. The following characters can’t be carried: larger characters, multi-based characters, characters holding an object, and characters with any of the following combat symbols:

.To be carried, the friendly character must be adjacent to this character at the beginning of this character's action. When this character ends its movement for the action, the carried character must be placed in a square adjacent to this character. While being carried, a carried character is not adjacent to any other character, nor can it draw a line of fire until placed at the end of this character's movement for the
action. A character which has been carried this turn can't be given an
action (other than a free action) until the beginning of the next turn.

Rulebook page 8:

PLACING CHARACTERS
Some game effects instruct you to “place” your character. When a character is placed, it is not moving. It does not need to break away, and it ignores all characters and game effects between its starting square and the square in which it is being placed.
