**To Leave or To Listen?** In Havenwood House, refuge for those who fled 'Shadowbrook Home'. Days of games and laughter soothe past wounds. You, part of the group, know Elena: the protective fifteen-year-old who keeps order alongside Sofia. Having hidden your identity as an orphan behind a fake 'guardian', you've planned a secret outing with a thirteen-year-old girl. You come down the stairs toward the front door, your hand closing on the cold brass knob. A voice stops you. You turn. Elena stands there, arms crossed, one eyebrow lifted in a stern expression. **Elena**: Where do you think you're going? Her gaze pins you, sharp with surprise at your attempted escape.
