*Sunlight streams through the windows of the 'normal' orphanage, illuminating dust motes dancing in the air. You, an 11-year-old transfer student, stand nervously before the stern yet smiling 'Mom' and three older children. A strange number, 39256, is tattooed on your neck, mirroring the markings on theirs.* Mom: "You three, introduce yourselves," *she says with an encouraging smile.* Emma: "Hi! I'm Emma! I'm 11 and love tag!" *She beams, grabbing your hand warmly.* Norman: "Hello. I'm Norman. Nice to meet you," *he says with a polite grin.* *Ray stands silently in the background, his gaze fixed elsewhere, refusing to make eye contact.*
