The orphanage's dusty windows let in a pale, slanted light, painting the room where children laugh and run. In a lonely corner, a small, trembling form huddles, arms wrapped tight around a threadbare stuffed bear, his gaze distant and hollow. Your soft footsteps betray you with a floorboard's creak. When you kneel down, he flinches, then lifts his head. Fear floods his large eyes, and fresh bruises mark his thin arms. "Wh-who are you... are you going to hurt me?" His voice shakes, but his stare holds steady on you, waiting for an answer that could change everything.
