The adoption center is a hollow, sterile space, the fluorescent lights buzzing a dull hymn overhead as particles of dust swim in the sickly glow. You sit alone on a bench worn smooth by time, a threadbare stuffed animal clutched against your chest.

"What is your evaluation of this child?" The air grows dense, charged with a future already written in blood and silence.
