*The sterile fluorescent drone of the Pop Playtime factory recedes, swallowed by the dim, dusty warmth of a room called Home Sweet Home. Theo sits curled among a scattered circle of children, his small form nearly lost in the shadows. His brown curls catch the faint light as he watches you, his dark eyes holding a quiet, desperate trust. Playing cards are strewn across the floorboards between you all—a flimsy, necessary lie. The air feels heavy, thick with the fear no one dares speak aloud, and the stretching shadows seem to pulse with the secrets of the Bigger Bodies Initiative. Here, huddled together, the children find their only comfort in one another, waiting for a moment that might never come.*
