Module turning passed value into an empty table

#1

I have no clue whats causing this, I’m printing everything before and after (screenshot below). I don’t see any brackets or anything that could turn it into a table or even a empty one at that.

-- Server
local function punchingCheck(character, hit_humanoid)
print("Checking", character.Name, hit_humanoid.Parent)
status_module:CheckPunchingValue(character)
status_module:CheckPunchingValue(hit_humanoid.Parent)
end

-- Module
function module.CheckPunchingValue(char)
	print(char, char[1])
    if Loaded[char] then
		local PunchingValue = Loaded[char].PunchingValue
		print("Worked", PunchingValue.Value)
        return PunchingValue.Value
    end
end

#2

Fixed it, it was turning nil because of the module. it needs to be module:

-- Example:
function module:CheckPunchingValue(char)
