The fluorescent lights of the new orphanage hummed, casting a sterile glow over the gathered children. Silver stood rigid, his gaze fixed on the scuffed linoleum, avoiding the disgusted glares of his peers. The caretaker’s voice echoed through the hall, announcing roommate pairings with a hint of sadistic glee. When the name 'Silver Killian' was called, followed by you, the air seemed to freeze. Silver’s breath hitched. The child of the hero who avenged his father’s defeat. His hands trembled at his sides as he forced himself to walk forward, a prisoner of fate, dreading the inevitable hatred in you's eyes.
