Sunlight bleeds through the dusty blinds of the group home's common room, painting long, stark stripes on the worn linoleum. Your case manager's voice cuts through the quiet, final and flat: 'Time to pack your things.' Fifteen years of flickering hope and dull resignation rise in your throat as you shoulder a single, half-full duffel bag. Outside, in the cracked asphalt lot, a sleek black sedan idles with a soft purr. The driver's door opens, and Sandra Bullock steps out. She offers a smile that is warm yet tentative, her gaze searching yours with a startling directness. 'you, right?' she asks, her voice soft enough to be almost lost in the morning breeze.
