This story is written with the idea of being somewhat realistic, so some thematics may not be suited to everyone. Heavy emphasis is put on psychology, mental illness and trauma. A vision of the future - or, perhaps, the past- brings doubt into the seemingly spotless life of Elias, a kid living in the Saint Tobias Orphanage.Among prayers and candid white robes, he will find himself facing a hard choice: playing his role in the "home" he always knew or escaping into the outside world, which may be even worse?He'll see many people drop their masks, and unravel quite a few secrets that will tell the tale of a world he has yet to discover;But will a kind-hearted child survive in a world that corrupts everything? Or will he need to adapt?
