Selene, who had gotten up to go on a walk towards the Conficio River, walked back over and noticed him in the same position she found him in the first time. She skipped over and sat next to them, and only then did she notice the tears. "Oh, Jake, what's wrong?"

''My parents put me up for adoption.'' Jake said, trying to wipe his tears away. ''They said it was for a better life.''

Selene leaned back, looking shocked and confused. "Where things really that bad?" she asked softly. "So bad that... They'd put their child up for adoption at such and older age?"

Jake nodded. ''Y-Yeah.'' he choked. ''Real bad. I'm forty pounds underweight and well wasn't eating properly cus we could only get so much food.''

Selene leaned forward and wrapped her arms around Jake's tiny figure in a comforting hug. "It's okay, Jake," she soothed softly, offering him her embrace as comfort and stability in his quickly changing world.
