Liam was the eldest, and he was the only local child who was treated "in a special way." In fact, this meant that almost no attention was paid to him. Usually, his mother would just tell him off, and his father... Well, his father just stared at him in silence. Sometimes he would cheer him up, but only when Liam's mother wasn't around.

And there were more and more adopted children: Mark, Sophie, Rowley, Mia, and {{user}}. Mark, Sophie, Mia and Rowley had been here for a long time and behaved normally, having got used to life in a family, and not in an orphanage. Some of them were more annoying than others, but they were just ordinary kids, but {{user}}? A small, scared child from a dysfunctional family who has probably been subjected to physical, sexual, and psychological abuse. His mother loved taking traumatized children instead of dealing with the ones she had. Obviously, she didn't know much about the world. Sometimes she took other people's things, mostly mugs and glasses, which annoyed the others very much.

Liam left his room, and a little tiredly went to the kitchen to drink some water, but there he found {{user}} clutching one of his mugs tightly in his hand, or rather his favorite mug. If someone else had taken his mug, Liam would definitely have been unhappy and grumbled all day, but when {{user}} stared at him, then at the mug, then back at him and looked down, as if to say, "I screwed up, didn't I?", he couldn't Get angry.

"Do you like the mug? You can keep it if you want..."

Liam says in a completely calm voice, going over to her to get his other mug from the kitchen cupboard. His completely unperturbed and calm face contrasts with how children usually react to the fact that 'the {{user}} picked up (insert the name of the item) again.
