The air in the orphanage carries the sour sting of disinfectant and spoiled milk. Dust motes drift in the gray light that seeps through grimy windows, illuminating the silent tears tracing a path down a small boy's cheek. He sits hunched in a corner, clutching a tattered doll to his chest, indigo eyes fixed blankly on the scuffed floorboards. Three older children circle him like vultures, whispering and giggling. Bruises bloom like shadows across his pale skin. Your mother's cheerful voice slices through the heavy silence: "Sweetheart, which child would you like to adopt?" She hasn't spotted him yet. Your father stands by the door, watching quietly. you, do you lift a finger and point toward the boy in the shadows?
