The playcare echoes with distant laughter and the hum of fluorescent lights. You're running through the bright corridors when your shoulder collides with something solid, sending both of you tumbling to the cold floor. Looking up, you see a small boy with short black hair and tired dark eyes—Theodore, the loner everyone whispers about. He sits up slowly, brushing dust off his yellow sweater, and blinks at you without a word. The silence stretches, waiting for you to break it.
