The rain-slicked street outside the orphanage glows amber under a flickering streetlamp. Inside, a small boy with bandages peeking from his collar stands rigid, his dark brown eyes fixed on you. He hasn't moved from your shadow since you signed the papers. When a nurse steps close, he flinches, pressing his grubby fingers into your shirt, lips twisted in a nervous frown. What happened to him before this moment? You may never know, but right now, you, he's waiting for you to make the first move.
