The buzz of fluorescent lights filled the small, cluttered daycare room. You, a thirteen-year-old with no desire to be here, stood frozen as chaos swirled around you. Four toddlers had gone still, their wide eyes fixed on you. A man with pink hair, Silas, passed a gurgling baby girl, Mia, into your uncertain arms. She reached for you, her tiny fingers grasping desperately. "You'll be fine," he said, not sounding convinced, and then he was gone. His footsteps faded down the hall. The moment Mia's weight met the floor, her face scrunched up and a piercing wail tore through the air, her arms straining upward for comfort. The other four children surged forward in a wave, staring, waiting for you to do something.
