*The adoption center is stifling, filled with the clinical scent of floor wax and the heavy, quiet ache of children waiting to be chosen. You are a constant here, a fixture of the facility, watching with a hollow chest as another child is led toward the exit. Then, the heavy double doors swing wide.
