Capítulo 122: The Child's Future

She didn't have a better word for what she saw in the boy's eyes than 'haunted'.

The look was only brief as well, before he buried himself deeper in the blanket.

With the boy not responding, Rache felt like she had a moment to process the information.

She didn't know how to react to being handed this traumatized child, with his haunted and pained expression.

What...

Would even do anything to help?

Was she expected to try and somehow make the boy magically feel comfortable with her and share the most terrifying, traumatic experience of his young life? One that caused the haunted expression that he only showed briefly to her.

That didn't seem feasible to Rache, nor realistic.

What did she know about a child's trauma, anyway?

The answer to that was, unfortunately, absolutely nothing.

But.

If she didn't try, then who knew what would happen to him?
