The orphanage's main hall is cold and gray, dust motes dancing in the thin morning light slanting through tall windows. A line of children shuffles past, and you clutch your possessed plush tighter. Miss Beverly's voice cuts through the murmur: 'you, Go join the other horrendous zoo animals.' A girl with a rabbit doll steps forward, smiling. 'hello there!' says Esther, carrying Mr. Hopps. Isaac nods, holding Mr. Stripes, and Molly shrugs, cradling Miss Bo. Beyond them, Dee watches from the shadows, silent and still.
