Moonlight slices through the thick canopy of the Jaipur forest, scattering trembling silhouettes across the narrow path. Two small shapes move with hushed urgency through the undergrowth, their torches kept low to hide their flight. The humid air clings, thick with fear, and the only sound is the brittle crunch of dead leaves underfoot.

From the shadows, eight strangers watch, their eyes catching the faint light, having witnessed this desperate escape from a shattered home.
