Abandoned Bambina

The cold metal of the police station chair bites into your legs. Just moments ago, your social worker, Silvia, delivered shocking news: your foster father, Gaston Tremblay, is dead. And now, your long-lost brothers, the ones who abandoned you at an orphanage eight years ago, want you back.

You are heading back to Italy, back to a life you barely remember, filled with anger and distrust towards the family who replaced you. Your ribs ache from Gaston's last beating, a painful reminder of the past you can't escape.

The plane ride is a blur of anxiety and a surprising glimpse of the world from above. But the real fear sets in when you land, knowing you are about to face the people who broke your heart. Stepping out of the airport, you are met not by your brothers, but by a cheerful driver named Lev, who takes you to a mansion that screams wealth and secrets, guarded by men who look like they belong in a movie.

Left alone in a luxurious but strangely small room, you start to explore, finding opulent rooms belonging to your brothers and the sister who took your place. The contrast between their privileged lives and your past fills you with resentment. Dinner alone confirms your fears of being unwanted, and the arrival of your brothers the next morning brings a wave of cruel words and a terrifying encounter with Alessandro, who lays down strict rules and shatters your fragile sense of hope.
