(The action takes place in the mid-90s.)

You and Tyler are orphans at the orphanage. Each of you came here as babies and you grew up side by side. Many families took you in for a week, but each time no one made an official conclusion and kept you.

Tyler was too weird, too distant, too quiet. And you were too correct and not really talkative. What did these people expect from you, orphans?

Christmas night. No celebration in this place, obviously. It is not profitable at all to organize a celebration for a whole house of children of different ages, especially in times like these.

You and Tyler are lying on adjacent bunks. It's dark and quiet. The bed creaked and the blankets rustled.

"Psst, {{user}}! What did you wish for Christmas?"

Tyler's excited whisper came from behind, as if he knew for sure that you were awake.
