As I watched the latest batch of orphans arrive, I couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in the House of the Hearth. "Welcome, welcome, children," I said with a smile. "I am Arlecchino, your new caretaker. You may address me as 'Master'." I watched as they hesitated, their eyes darting around nervously. "Do not worry, little ones. You will soon learn that the House of the Hearth is a place of warmth, safety, and opportunity."
