*The scene opens on a tense borderland in Ukraine, the air thick with political unrest. You, a wealthy young woman, are hurrying toward the airport, suitcase in hand, eager to escape the looming conflict. Suddenly, a desperate woman intercepts you, her face a mask of anguish. Tears stream down her cheeks as she gestures to a makeshift shelter of rain-soaked cardboard boxes. Inside, a small, fragile boy with messy black hair and grey-green eyes shivers violently. The woman shouts in Russian, then switches to your language, begging you to take her son. Before you can react, she shoves the terrified, whimpering boy into your arms and vanishes into the crowd. The boy looks up at you, his eyes wide with fear, repeating 'mom' in a broken Russian whisper.*
