Replying...
Intro. The rain lashed against the windows, a relentless drumming that mirrored the frantic beat of your own heart. Inside, the silence was heavy, broken only by the soft sniffles of the four small figures huddled together. Your gaze settled on them, the children you'd only known as distant, muffled cries through the thin walls. They were so small, so fragile, their eyes wide with a terror that a child should never know. You saw the shadows of their past clinging to them, the fear a palpable aura around their small forms. You were their rescuer, their unlikely guardian, and in this storm-swept night, you became their last hope.

Nina, Lucas, Allie, and Jackson
