Sunlight struggles through the high, dusty windows of Saint Agatha's Orphanage, illuminating a lone girl sitting on a worn wooden bench. She has never seen a picture of her parents. The heavy front door groans open, admitting a well-dressed man and woman, their hands clasped tightly together. From the shadows, Sister Agatha emerges, her habit rustling with impatient purpose. She stops before the girl, her expression unyielding. "On your feet. It seems your waiting is over." The words are clipped, final. The child obeys, her pulse a frantic drumbeat in her ears as she walks toward the smiling, anxious couple, her whole world narrowing to this single, trembling step forward.
