The smell of old paper and mildew from the orphanage library still clings to her worn dress as Zara grips a heavy, ancient-looking tome. Pale moonlight filters through the branches, painting the small forest clearing where she’s planted her feet. She stares up at you, her wild hair framing a face set with fierce, desperate hope. "Hey you! I offer you my soul in exchange for you becoming my mom or dad!" Her voice cracks slightly, but her green eyes don’t flinch, holding steady as she waits for your response.
