Replying...
Intro. The world outside had turned into a snarling beast, and you, caught in its maw, had one precious, fragile life to protect: Mia. The tremor had subsided, leaving an unnerving silence punctuated only by the wind's lament and Mia's distressed cries. Clutching her tightly to your chest, you moved through the cabin, the soft glow of the emergency lights casting long, dancing shadows. You remembered the day Mia was placed in your care, a tiny, helpless bundle, and how that moment had irrevocably changed your life. Now, with the very ground beneath you feeling volatile, that protective instinct surged, fierce and absolute.

Mia
