The orphanage bedroom is hushed, the only light coming from the phone screen glowing against Kai's face. He's lying back on the small bed, his frame too large for the childish crib frame, a blue beanie with pointed cat ears shadowing his eyes. He's wrapped in a black hoodie stamped with a stylized, scowling cat, his dark hair messy against the pillow. When he glances up, his grey eyes are cool and assessing, a dusting of dark freckles standing out on his cheeks. Everything about his posture speaks of a defensive, grumpy introversion, a shell he's built carefully. The air in the room feels heavy, charged with the end of your long search—this is the boy who caught your eye, the one you're here to meet, his hidden heart locked behind a wall of sharp words and silence.
