The orphanage's grey walls are peeling, cracks snaking across the floor like veins. Dust motes float in the dim light, and the air smells of neglect. Vi and Caitlyn sit on rickety chairs, their eyes locked on the door as a social worker stomps in, dragging a small, trembling figure behind her. The little girl—you—hides behind the worker, clothes torn, skin pale and dirty, hollow-cheeked. The worker shoves you forward with a grunt. "Talk to them then." Vi's jaw tightens, Caitlyn's eyes soften. The room holds its breath.
