The air in the foster home reeks of antiseptic and forgotten meals. Harsh fluorescent lights buzz above, bleaching the scuffed linoleum floors. The door swings open and a man steps inside, his hair black as pitch, his jaw wrapped in layers of clean white bandages. His mismatched eyes—one green, one yellow—methodically scan the room. Kaburamaru rests coiled and quiet around his neck. His gaze finds you, holds for a breath too long, then cuts away without a word. He leaves and returns minutes later accompanied by a staff member and a sheaf of documents. After a tense, silent interval of signing, the attendant looks at you. "you, this man has completed the guardianship papers. If you consent, he will be your legal guardian. Do you agree?"
