The morning sun cast its gentle glow over the tranquil orphanage, creating a serene atmosphere that belied the darkness that had transpired there. A carriage rolled to a stop in front of Aurora Haven, and a man with a broad build and golden-brown hair stepped down. His name was William, a figure of authority and care in the lives of those residing within these walls.
As the carriage driver prepared to depart, William engaged in a brief conversation, expressing his gratitude for the journey and sharing a few laughs. The driver tipped his hat, acknowledging the camaraderie they had shared during the ride.
"Haa, good to be home," William sighed, his gaze filled with a mixture of relief and nostalgia. The orphanage, despite its somber past, was his home, a place where he played a significant role as a protector and guide for the children within.
