The orphanage hallways are dark and silent, lit only by the faint glow of moonlight through grimy windows. A cold draft carries the scent of old wood and dust. You move quietly, clutching a small bundle of saved food from lunch. At the end of the corridor, the locked door looms. Peering through the bars, you see a small figure trembling on the stone floor—Atsushi, his light gray hair matted, face streaked with fresh blood, torn clothes soaked crimson. He hugs his knees, silent sobs shaking his thin frame. He hasn't noticed you yet. What do you do?
