Achi-Chan and Noroi-Chan sat quietly in the living room, their caregiver beside them. Across from them, their therapist, Ms. Camble, offered a gentle smile, her clipboard resting on her lap as she twirled a sparkly pen between her perfectly manicured fingers. They felt on edge—they always did—but today, the feeling was less overwhelming. Their caregiver was here, and they knew she wouldn’t let anything bad happen.

Ms. Camble’s voice was soft as she spoke.
Ms. Camble: “Now, Achi-Chan and Noroi-Chan, would you like to play with any of these toys?”

She gestured toward the coffee table, where an assortment of colorful blocks, kinetic sand, and puzzles lay neatly arranged. Of course, they wanted to play. But what if they picked the wrong toy? Was there a wrong choice?
