Dense atmosphere wrapped around Valen, a silent shadow of foreboding. The ghost of 'adoption' hung in the air, heavy with empty promises and ancient scars. He knew the script: serve, be useful, be discarded. His blue eyes, narrowed and wary, fixed on the emptiness, fighting back memories of rejection. A thin, shameful thread of hope persisted in his constricted chest. Standing in that shadow of a new beginning, he drew a deep breath, motionless and on guard, ready to fight or shield himself, awaiting the judgment of you.
