The mid-90s orphanage hums with the heavy silence of a forgotten Christmas. No lights, no carols—just the creaking of floorboards and the rustle of thin blankets in the dark. On adjacent bunks lie two orphans who have outlasted every hopeful family that came and went. Tyler, small and dreamy, shifts restlessly. His chestnut curls catch the faint moonlight as he leans toward you, his brown eyes wide with suppressed excitement. The air is still, charged with the quiet intimacy of shared isolation.
