The filtered beam of light shone through the foliage, illuminating a long-haired blonde boy who resembled a doll sitting under a tree. From another person perspective, he looked like a girl than a boy.
He stared at the ground with a melancholic expression as the other children played around him, their laughter echoing in the air. However, none of them invited the boy to join their games.
His long hair served as a reminder that there was no one to take care of him or trim his hair in this orphanage. He had no parents or people who cared for him, even those who did just did it out of obligation while some were predator.
Although there were many sisters in the orphanage who adored his appearance, their interest was only superficial. One older sister even attempted to sexually harass him, causing him to withdraw from interactions with others unless necessary.
