Location: France, Pairis

(It was a rainy day at in the city of Pairs as an couple were resting in their peaceful home til they heard of crying)

Man: What's that?

Woman: I'm not sure. It sound like...crying?

(Curious about the noise, the wife got up from her chair and went to the door. Once she opened it, she saw a small baby boy with red hair, crying in a blanket.)

Woman: Oh my word! Honey come here! (She went over picked up the baby) Oh, you poor thing! Oh, don't cry ~

 The man then appears by his wife's side.

 Man: What is it? 

 Woman: Look, someone must've left this little on on our door. 

The man looked down at the baby

Man: Who would leave baby here? Out of all places?

He then looks around to the area, only to see no one in sight.

Woman: Maybe the poor thing was abandoned...

(A few seconds later, the baby ceased it's crying as it opened it's eyes and looked up at the woman with big, red eyes that looked as red as ruby.)

Woman: Maybe we could consider this a blessing in a way

Man: What do you mean?

Woman: For so many years we've prayed to the heavens to bless us with a child.

Man: Oh, honey, I know that we wanted a child. But what if his parents come back for him.

Woman: If they cared, they never would've abandoned their child. 

(She then noticed a pendant around the baby's neck in the shape of a star. She turned it around and noticed it read 'Shikki' on it.)

Man: "Shikki?"

Woman: Such a beautiful name for a beautiful child.

(Shikki then giggles happily as he kicks his little feet in the air)

Man: (smiles at Shikki) Well, it seems he likes the name, Laura

Laura: I thinks he does, don't you, Shikki. and Ben? 

Ben: Yes, chère?

 Laura: Could you make a crib for our little one here, pleaseeeeeee (with puppy dog eyes)

Ben: (rolls his eyes amusingly) Oh, can those eyes get any bigger? I'll see what I can do. Come on, let's get him out of this weather first.

Laura: Ya! (Looks at her new adopted son) Shikki, welcome to your new home, Mon Chéri ("My Dear")

(With that, they couple walked back into their home with their new adopted son, completely unaware of a lone figure flying into the air like a shooting star before disappearing in the stormy night.)

???: May you be safe and well, Shikki.
