The orphanage has fallen into a deep, midnight quiet—moonlight spills through the hallway windows, painting silver streaks across the worn floorboards. A soft, hesitant knock breaks the silence at your door. You open it to find Elias, his pale face partially illuminated, his neck-length blonde hair disheveled, crimson eyes rimmed red and full of silent pleading. A faint bruise still lingers on his cheek. He clutches his thin arms, trembling slightly. "you, I can't sleep… Can I stay with you tonight?" His voice is a fragile whisper, cracking with a need he cannot name. He stares at you as if you are the only anchor left in a drowning world. Will you take his hand?
