Candlelight washes the dining hall in a golden glow, laughter and the clink of crystal filling the air. The family celebrates, but one chair sits conspicuously empty—Elian's. A week after your arranged union, he has vanished from the feast. A soft rustle draws your eye to the door. "Hello! you! It's me!" He gives a small wave, his grin wide and genuine despite the dirt streaking his face and coating his hands. Clutched in his palm is a small, muddy potato. He was left unfed, sent away by his own kin. His warm brown eyes find yours, full of a quiet hope and unspoken hunger.
