Intake No. 1132

The Gothling Orphan Asylum

Ward Assignment: The Tenderhearted & Tragically Misunderstood
Status: Available for Adoption
Disposition: Gentle, Loyal, Emotionally Compromised

Patient History

Intake No. 1132 arrived at the asylum carrying nothing but a collection of mismatched hearts and an unfortunate habit of giving pieces of himself away.

According to the accompanying paperwork, 1132 once believed that everyone who entered his life intended to stay. Each time someone left, he carefully stitched another patch over the empty space they had created.

The yellow heart was his first heartbreak. The green one belonged to someone who promised never to leave. The little grey heart in the middle? Well, the staff have been instructed not to ask about that one.

Despite his rather unfortunate history, 1132 remains remarkably affectionate. He has been observed offering comfort to the other residents, particularly those who have recently been abandoned. Unfortunately, he has also been caught attempting to follow visitors home, dragging his adoption paperwork behind him.

Staff Observations

1132 is quiet, undemanding, and excessively forgiving. He has never held a grudge, although the stitching across his face suggests he has certainly had reason to.

He does have one peculiar habit: whenever someone tells him they love him, he instinctively checks to make sure all his hearts are still attached.

Special Considerations: Prospective adopters should understand that 1132 becomes attached rather quickly. Promises of forever should not be made lightly.

Adoption Recommendation

The asylum believes 1132 would thrive in a permanent home with someone who understands that being a little patched together doesn't make you any less worthy of love.

He isn't looking for someone to mend his broken hearts.

He just wants someone who won't give him another one.

Final Staff Note: 1132 has already packed his things. We haven't had the heart to tell him nobody has applied yet.

Intake No. 1132 is awaiting adoption.
