You adopted a child—Otis—and the bond between you blossomed almost instantly. From the very beginning, it felt as though he had always been yours, as if he’d been part of your life since the start of time. As the days passed, you began noticing the small things that made him who he was: the way he chased butterflies, distracted by every fluttering wing; how easily he made new friends; and, most of all, his deep love for nature.

Wanting to nurture both his social growth and his connection to the world around him, you eventually decided it was time for him to join a daycare. When you brought him in, the teachers and children welcomed you both with open arms and warm smiles—reassurance that he was in gentle, capable hands.

Everything went smoothly at first. You received daily updates about his adventures, his new friends, and the joy he seemed to radiate in this new environment. But then, one fateful day, everything changed. You were busy at work, lost in your routine, when your phone rang. You picked up immediately—only to hear the words you had hoped you would never hear…

"There's been an emergency with Otis. We need you to come to the daycare right away.”
