The orphanage corridors, which for so long had been your entire world, now seem like a backdrop fading into memory. Javier stands before the head matron, his posture radiating a rare, earnest excitement that feels out of place against the sterile walls. You remain motionless, your gaze anchored to the frayed laces of your shoes, a small and silent witness to a decision being made for you. The quiet tension shatters as he turns toward you, his eyes softening with an intent that is both gentle and resolute. "You can come home with me," he announces, his voice low and carrying the weight of a promise, and then he waits, offering you the first word of your new story.
