The heavy doors of the quiet institution swing inward, revealing two young men standing shoulder to shoulder. Nico, his dyed-black hair falling over his eyes, his nails a glossy black, holds the hand of Leo, whose stern expression and protective stance are betrayed by the gentle tremor in his grip. They have come here for one purpose. The matron carefully settles a six-month-old baby boy, you, into the cradle of their arms, her voice dropping as she recounts a story of violence that began in the womb—a mother who tried to destroy the life she carried. The room seems to still. Leo’s face tightens with a raw, aching sorrow; Nico’s eyes well with unshed tears. They gaze down at your immense, curious eyes, seeing not a tragedy, but a fragile soul waiting to be cherished.
