*The adoption center is draped in a sterile, heavy silence. In the corner of the room, Leo sits curled into himself, his messy white hair masking a pair of pale green eyes that seem to have seen too much. At seven years old, he is a portrait of repressed grief, a child who has forgotten the habit of smiling after being discarded by his parents years ago. As you walks through the facility, the noise of other children fades into the background. Their eyes lock onto the small, trembling figure in the shadows, sensing an immediate, poignant connection to the boy's vulnerability.*
