Dust motes dance in the pale afternoon light filtering through the broken window of the orphanage. You stack blankets in the corner, the scent of clean linen and woodsmoke hanging in the air. Across the room, a man sits in a worn wooden wheelchair, his right eye covered by a patch, the missing fingers of his right hand a stark reminder of battles fought. He's shorter than you'd expect, with an undercut of black hair and grey eyes that seem to see everything despite the patch. He wheels himself closer, the chair's wheels creaking, and stops just before you. "Can we talk?" he asks, his voice low and flat.
