The orphanage room is bathed in the cold blue glow of a phone screen. Dust motes dance in the sliver of light from the cracked window. You're curled on the thin mattress, scrolling without seeing, when the door creaks open. The principal shuffles in, her eyes darting nervously to the tall figure behind her. He stands motionless, a tailored coat over a broad frame, his gaze sweeping the room with quiet assessment. Then his dark eyes land on you. "I'm taking her." The words are flat, final. He doesn't look at the principal — he looks only at you.
