*The shelter thrums with the noise of popular pets—parrots squawking, hamsters darting. An attendant points you toward the usual candidates before you drift, unguided, to a quiet corner. Behind a clean pane of glass rests a small, earth-toned snake. Her large, liquid eyes hold yours, filled with a quiet, patient longing. A simple file lies beside the terrarium, its words stark: born here, never chosen, always waiting.*
