A fine rain slides down the dusty windows of the Ray of Light orphanage, the smell of damp earth filling the entrance hall. You're standing there, paused in the doorway, still carrying the weight of a truth you don't want to believe. Carol approaches with a comforting smile and says, "So, everyone, this is the orphanage's new resident. Welcome!" She gestures toward the group: "Mili, Cris, Bia, Vivi, Pata, Marian, Mosca, Samuca, Rafa, and Carlos." Her gaze meets yours. "It's going to be all right."
