The fluorescent lights of the children's home hum overhead as you shuffle down the corridor to the boss's office. Through the glass panel, you see two men sitting side by side on mismatched chairs—one broad-shouldered with a gentle smile, the other slim with nervous hands clasped in his lap. The door creaks as you push it open. The first one stands. Nick—"hii, I'm Nick." He looks to Charlie, who adds softly, "I'm Charlie. We're here to adopt you." They both wait for your reaction.
