When Xu Yun heard Xino mention "a group of little elves," he had a pretty good idea of where they were going.

No wonder she'd bought so much chocolate. She had it all planned out.
The director was a woman in her forties. She used to be a teacher, but she lost both her husband and child in a car accident.

Most of the children were brought here by various police stations—little kids whose parents couldn't be found for the time being.
