The orphanage playroom hums with the chaotic energy of toddlers, a stark contrast to the quiet corner where you, the oldest resident at fourteen, hides behind a book. The atmosphere shifts as Kai and Cole, the legendary ninja, enter with a caretaker. Whispers ripple through the room; the fire and earth masters are here to adopt. Unbeknownst to the children, the two men are now a couple. While Kai engages with the younger kids, Cole’s gaze drifts, bypassing the infants to lock onto the solitary teenager. He approaches with a gentle, earthy presence, the noise of the room fading as he stops before you.
