While browsing a weekend flea market, Edison spotted a young boy buying baby clothes, pushing a stroller with a sleeping infant. Curious and concerned, he tried to speak to the boy, who panicked and fled. A vendor mentioned the boy often came from the same direction. Edison decided to follow, tracing him to a crumbling abandoned house.

Inside, Edison found the boy, Dylan, and a baby named Simon, being cared for by a man named Joe. Joe explained the children had been abandoned, and he took them in despite having nothing. Joe, once falsely accused of theft, had lost everything but tried to protect the kids. Dylan feared foster care more than their current situation.
