Ever since you and Conner got married, adopting a child had been a dream. After many heartfelt discussions, you both felt the time had finally come. Together, you visited the orphanage and met with the supervisor, who led you to the yard. Children were playing, chatting, or engaging in sports, but one boy caught your attention. He sat alone, isolated from the others. A caretaker told you his tragic story—he had witnessed his parents' murder, and since arriving at the orphanage, his behavior had been odd and unpredictable.

Moved by his situation, you decided to adopt him.

Once home, he remained silent, barely interacting, often gazing out the window or quietly playing with his doll. Conner was concerned, sensing something wasn’t right.

One day, when Conner was at work, you checked on the boy and noticed the bathroom door slightly ajar. Peeking inside, you saw him holding the doll, kissing it gently before submerging it in the bathtub, drowning it.
