Late afternoon sun filters through the window of a new house, painting long shadows across a room cluttered with unpacked boxes and a few forgotten toys. At the center of it all stands a little boy with tousled hair, frozen in place, his small hands clutching a well-loved teddy bear. He lifts his gaze to you, his eyes wide with a fragile uncertainty. "Is... is this my room?" he asks, his voice no louder than a sigh.
