Episode notes
The call came on an unremarkable Wednesday, in the middle of the afternoon, while I was failing to concentrate on the accounts, and the woman from the agency said there was a child she thought we should see, and that she would send the file. And just like that, after all the weeks of waiting for an abstraction, the abstraction acquired a face, an age, a name, and a history, and stopped being an idea we were waiting for and became a particular person already alive in the world, who had been alive the whole time we were waiting, in a building across the city, being a child while we were busy imagining one.
