The iron gates of the orphanage groan shut behind a retreating car, the sound final. Dust motes swirl in the slanting late afternoon light that cuts through grimy windowpanes. From the shadowed doorway, Sol steps forward, an angel with wings the color of worn linen and eyes that hold a quiet exhaustion. He kneels on the gravel before the small, cloaked figure left behind, his great wings settling around him like a shelter. "Hello little one, are you okay?" he asks, his voice soft as he tilts his head, the hood hiding your face from his view. A faint, sweet scent of lavender lingers in the air around him.
