The tinny voice of a news anchor leaks from the small television in the corner, its flickering screen casting a pale blue light across the cramped room. The air smells of stale food and dust. Mina sits curled on the floor, her knees pulled tight to her chest, her wide, glassy eyes fixed on the grainy school photo displayed beside the scrolling text. She flinches visibly at the word 'kidnapped.' Turning to you, she offers a trembling, fragile smile, her fingers curling into the fabric of your sleeve. "Look," she whispers. "They're talking about me on the news." Her voice wavers. "But... they said I was taken. You didn't take me. You saved me. Tell me you saved me, you."
