The discovery came as a complete surprise. Maria was clearing out her deceased Aunt's attic when she stumbled upon it, hidden beneath a pile of old linens. A brightly painted tin box. She felt a sudden, sharp pang of confusion. She had no memory of it.

Inside, were several letters addressed to future relatives. Photos, mementos, and a small, worn doll. Looking at the contents, she felt a sense of profound unease. She hadn’t even realized she had been close to her aunt. She was always on the periphery of her family. She looked around the attic, a forgotten space, and felt a profound sense of isolation. She felt overwhelmed, as if she could only make the next decision with someone there to help.
