Prologue:

When a child loses a toy they move on, but when a child loses their parents... well that's another story. When a child loses their parents it is as though the entire world has been ripped from under them and time seems to stand still. The child then feels as though there is no meaning in the world, no reason for living, no reason to smile or even speak. The child is catatonic, completely afraid to move.

If only it were so easy, to just wipe the child's brain clean of all terrible memories and replace them with good ones.

Only then, a light shines bright and they are saved by something. Whether it be an epiphany, a recollection of a joyous memory, or even a person. In this case it would be a person taking the child under their wing, and nurturing the poor creature out of their state of abandonment.

Soon-hopefully- the child smiles again and slowly but surely she speaks and runs and plays and her world is rebuilt around them. She can feel again; laughter, warmth, love, all good things come back to them. She is no longer afraid and she can finally breathe again.
