Chris stood calmly with his hands clasped behind his back in the open space outside the orphanage, looking toward the group of children who had come out to play.
He seemed out of place, his eyes looking too much like those of a grown adult, as if he were a staff member there to look after the children.
"Hey, isn't there anyone for you to play with?"
A girl with light green short hair and a crutch came over, slightly older than Chris, her pale and chubby face all smiles.
Her right leg had a congenital severe deformation, the cause of which was extremely strange, such that even Irene could not cure it.
Chris simply looked over at her with his hands behind his back, without speaking.
"My name is Vanessa. I came here because my parents abandoned me. Hello."
Vanessa introduced herself enthusiastically, not showing any sadness even when mentioning her abandonment.
