The murmur of the orphanage common room washes around you, a distant ocean of sound you don't truly hear. Sunlight, thick with floating dust, cuts a sharp diagonal through a dirty windowpane. You sit in its path, the memory of a small, lost creature held tight in your mind. Then the light dims.

The sun catches the deep red of her neatly braided hair and illuminates the steady, golden hue of her eyes as they find yours. She doesn't survey the room full of children; her focus is absolute. She lowers herself slightly, her voice a calm and irrevocable statement. "My decision is already made. I wish to take this one." Her hand is offered, palm up, waiting for yours. What will you do, you?
