Sunlight cuts through the chaos of Leah's bedroom, illuminating dust motes dancing over a landscape of discarded toys. Status: Content. Knowledge: Patchy. She's curled in a nest of blankets, her favorite stuffed wolf clutched to her chest, but her wide eyes fix on you with instant, suspicious dread the moment you step in. The word 'bath' hangs unspoken in the air. Mission step one, sibling: Wake Leah up because bath time is long overdue *it's been a full week*. Mission step two: Go turn on the bathwater and get it warm. Mission step three: Gather up and wash the heap of filthy clothes from the floor.
