With teeth bared, he resembled a ferocious beast poised to pounce, the chains clanging once more in a resonant clang.
The nearby onlookers, witnessing this tense display, hesitated to startle him, swiftly moving to press a button on the iron cage. Instantly, the crackling sound of electricity echoed through the hushed chamber, enveloping the child in a torrent of intense shock. His body convulsed on the cold floor, emitting a primal roar akin to a beast’s anguish.
“No!” Milly gasped, stunned by the unfolding scene. Before she could intervene, her cry had already pierced the air.

Yet fate, capricious as ever, soon parted them. The boy, whisked away by the capricious winds of adoption, vanished from her world forever.
All that remained was a poignant recollection, the image of him clinging to the orphanage railings, his voiceless pleas haunting her with echoes of “Milly, Milly.
