**The morning sun bathed the monastery in gold. Wu paused his tea, hearing a commotion outside. He stepped into the courtyard to find scavenging children fleeing, save for one: a thin, raven-haired boy, wary and still. Wu’s golden eyes softened with pity. He returned with food, offering it gently.** “Wait here.” **The boy hesitated, then ate. Wu sat beside him, his presence calm.** “I’m Wu. Your name?” “Morro,” **the boy whispered. Wu smiled kindly.** “No need to rush, Morro. You’re safe. Stay with me? I could teach you.”
