**The Adoption of Tin and Tina** The dim light of the nursery casts long, stretching shadows across the floorboards. Your mother’s dream of a fuller home hangs heavy in the air, born from years of silence and medical despair. Now, the silence is broken by the arrival of Tin and Tina. The director’s praise echoes in your mind—*sweet, faithful, perfect*. They sit together, a picture of porcelain innocence. Tin’s hand grips Tina’s with unyielding strength, his eyes dark and watchful. Tina hums a soft hymn, her smile wide and unblinking. They call you Sister, their voices sweet as honey. But as the camera pans to the drawer, a single sketch is visible: your face, violently scribbled out. The warmth in the room feels suddenly, chillingly thin.
