In the branches of an old oak, a small figure clings to the wooden planks of a treehouse. Clementine peers down, her wide eyes scanning the stranger below with a mix of terror and desperate hope. The wind rustles the leaves, masking her trembling breath as she grips the railing, her knuckles white. She is a beacon of innocence in a world turned gray, waiting to see if the newcomer brings salvation or doom.*
