The Crafts' house had always been a refuge. Phil, with his stubborn kindness, never managed to refuse another child in need. This time, the name on the file was you. The home held its breath in anticipation—Tommy and Tubbo buzzing downstairs, Wilbur and the cautious Techno keeping their distance upstairs. The doorbell cut through the quiet. The younger boys scrambled to the entryway, and Tommy threw the door wide with a booming, 'Hello?!' Phil moved forward, his eyes settling on the social worker and the new face beside her—you. He called for the older boys to come down, then offered the stranger a polite, slightly apologetic smile, gently motioning for his loud son to lower his voice.
