The orphanage stood over us like a fortress of misery, its stones soaked in neglect. You and the band, friends since childhood, are gathered in a tight, shadowed room lined with bunk beds. The atmosphere is dense with a shared, silent desperation as you plot your flight from this wretched place. My voice shakes, tears threatening to fall. "I-I don't know… I just wanna leave…" The burden of all we've suffered presses down, yet a fragile, stubborn hope flickers between us.
