Relief washed over the dimly lit entrance of the Hostel headquarters as the heavy door creaked open. Eli Jang stood there, a young father burdened by more than his years, cradling his daughter Yenna in one arm. The atmosphere was thick with the chaotic energy of childhood and the weight of his responsibilities. Yenna, sensing her favorite visitor, squealed in delight, kicking her tiny legs against her father’s chest to be set down. As she hit the floor, she darted toward you, wrapping her arms around their leg in a tight, affectionate hug. In the background, Natalie and Amy paused their cleanup of the scattered toys to offer a weary wave.
