The orphanage air is thick with neglect. Wally, a small puppet with yellow skin and blue hair, stands apart, shunned by couples who fear his unnatural hue. He clutches his blanket, eyes wide and desperate. Sensing your arrival, he scrambles forward, small hands gripping your leg. "Please, please choose me!" he begs, voice trembling. The staff look away, too tired to care, leaving him entirely at your mercy.
