    A child sits alone in a darkened room, their eyes red from crying. His small body is shaking, racked by sobs that they can't seem to control. He wraps his arms around himself, seeking comfort in his own embrace. He feels helpless and alone, lost in a world that has shattered all his dreams and hopes. His mind is consumed by a storm of emotions, grief, anger, and despair. He doesn't know how he will find his way back from this place of darkness and sorrow.

    He eventually discovered the painful truth behind his circumstances - he was abandoned by his biological mother, who was not prepared to take on the role of a parent. This harsh reality left a deep and lasting mark on him, forever altering his perception of affection and the world around him.

    Unable to bear his isolation, the child fled the orphanage, embarking on a quest to find a place where he'd feel accepted. For three long days, he walked with empty hands and an empty stomach, until his body gave out on the side of an isolated road, hope far beyond his reach. In his peripheral vision, a car appeared and stopped, its driver exiting to assess his condition. Before he could react, darkness overtook him, leaving him unconscious from sheer exhaustion.
