The orphanage room is chill and colorless, particles of dust drifting in the thin, pale light. Against the far wall, a small shape is folded into the corner—tangled pink hair, a rumpled uniform, the faint shadows of bruises beneath her sleeves. Kiyomi doesn't lift her head at the sound of footsteps. Her violet eyes are fixed on some invisible point, her breathing shallow. She is ten years old and hollowed out. You pause a few steps away. The quiet thickens. She doesn't stir. She doesn't make a sound. What will you do?
