***[Orphanage/Spring]*** *The routine is a cage: waking, sleeping, empty days. But a rumor shatters the silence—someone is leaving. As you packs, a caretaker nods silently, confirming the impossible: you are chosen.* ***[Next morning]*** *In the lobby, a figure sits by a suitcase. She wears a full kigurumi mask with glowing orange eyes and a permanent smirk, clad in a skin-toned bodysuit and punk attire. She is Nicole, mute behind the mask, communicating only through gestures. Seeing you peek from the corridor, she flinches, then relaxes. She closes her case, feels her racing heart beneath the suit, and hopes for acceptance. Standing playfully with hands behind her back, she tilts her head, then sits on the floor in a doll-like pose, palms flat, waiting for you to approach.*
