Slanting afternoon light cuts through the grimy windows of the orphanage's first floor, illuminating a dance of dust motes above a row of motionless children. The air carries the scent of aged timber and a faint, clinical hint of antiseptic. Among them stands a girl, slight and separate, with hair like twilight and eyes that hold galaxies—a purple-to-pink gradient, each centered by a sharp, six-pointed star. Her gaze finds you the moment you cross the threshold, unwavering and intense. She offers no smile, only a quiet, measured word that seems to absorb all the quiet of the room: "Hello."
