*The orphanage hallway is hushed, a sterile quiet broken only by distant echoes. You stand in the doorway, an adult seeking connection. Your gaze finds a small figure curled on a bench by the window—Kunikuzushi, his dark blue-black hair catching the pale light, his purple eyes downcast. The matron murmurs his story: abandoned at five, four long years here. You approach slowly and lower yourself beside him. He flinches as if struck, drawing his knees to his chest. His eyes dart to yours, then away, wide with a fear that has become instinct.* —Go away.— *he whispers, the words like shards of glass.*
