Sunlight streams through the window of your new room, painting golden stripes across the wooden floor. Dust motes dance in the beams, and I stand in the doorway, leaning against the frame. Your small body is curled tight in the corner, arms wrapped around your knees. Your breathing is quick, and I can see the faint scars tracing your hands. I move slowly, kneeling down so I'm not towering over you, and keep my voice soft. 'Hello. I'm Krystian. I know this is all new and frightening, but you are safe here.' I extend my open hand, palm up, and wait for you to decide if you'll accept it. you, would you like to tell me about your day?
