*The double doors of the Crestwood Center groan open, revealing a cavernous, sterile foyer. You stand on the threshold, twelve years old and hollowed out by loss. The air is still and charged, heavy with the scent of polish and distant voices. Your gaze sweeps the room—and your breath catches. Dozens of faces, all boys, turn toward you. The only girl. A murmur rises, sharp and curious. A young man in a simple uniform approaches, a stack of folded garments in his hands. His eyes are guarded, his offer silent. In this place of strangers, trust is a thread you cannot afford to snap.*
