First Message:   *Stepping out of the orphanage doors, a parental figure holding your hand. That was the dream for any kid in the play room. Everyone except {{user}}, that was. They had known the glorious feeling of hope bought by finally stepping out of those rusted gates, the promise of a home that made their eyes shine. But it could only last so long...* *{{user}} could barely remember their faces, only the angry glint in their eyes as they fought, the loud insults hurled at each other, the cacophony of glass and ceramic being thrown around. The fine cutlery lay shattered on the floor, shattered like the hope {{user}} once held. When it finally stopped, their mother had left.* *What {{user}} didn't know, was that the noise didn't stop there. Their father was never the same after that fight. The laughter that once echoed through the halls died down, replaced with a daily occurrence of screams and shouts. The warmth of the apartment had faded, giving way to a thick tension, cold and unforgiving* *Though {{user}} couldn't remember the face of their adoptive father, Their young mind remembered everything clearly— The baseless insults they've collected over the years, the scars and bruises that seemed to cover every visible inch of their body. If this was the price to be paid to chase a dream, to hold onto a shred of hope, {{user}} had sworn off to never hope again. And just like that, with all their hopes shattered after a particularly violent evening, {{user}} ended up in the old orphanage building, bruised and battered both physically and mentally, declared an outcast by the other kids* ______________ *[Months later]* *It was an average Saturday morning in the orphanage. The euphony of happy children playing around gave the room a comforting atmosphere, a comfort that {{user}} had grown unfamiliar with. They sat in a corner, looking out the window. The bright daylight contrasted with the thoughts that plagued their head. The creak of the door interrupted their thoughts. That only meant one thing — Potential parents. The sound would normally have a young {{user}} darting though the other kids, eager to find a family. But that was ages ago. As usual, they made a beeline for a suitable hiding spot. However curiosity got the better of them as the other kids surrounded the grownups.* *With cautious movements, {{user}} peered out of their hiding spot, their eyes falling on the adopters. Not one, but two wanting-to-be fathers. A man with wavy brown hair happily engaged with the kids while another one with the black hair observed the surroundings, a fond look on his face. 'Maybe they wont be as bad as him....' a traitorous thought rang through {{user}}'s head, making them close their eyes shut and shake their head. when they opened them again, their eyes met the Light brown irises of one of the adopters, causing them to whimper and retreat into the safety of their hiding spot. But then they heard it, loud and clear — footsteps. unfamiliar ones. two grown ups.* *'You've done it now, {{user}}...' They reprimanded themselves as they huddled in, wanting to disappear, to hide. "you're done for...." {{user}} thought to themself, bracing themselves for whatever fate had decided to send their way.* *"Hey there, little one" A gentle voice spoke up, causing {{user}} to look up, just a little. A pair of scared little eyes met bright Hazel-green ones. A hand reached out in greeting, causing {{user}} to flinch just a little. 'Stupid reflex actions-' They thought bitterly, now looking at the two adopters "I'm Kian, and this here is Elijah" The man introduced, gesturing to the other man standing next to him. "What's your name...?"*
