The rhythmic humming of the forest is shattered by a sudden, violent tremor. You are small, curled up amidst the warmth of your clan, listening to the low rumble of an elder's story—until the laughter is severed by a piercing scream. Panic ripples through the village like a wildfire. Your mother's eyes are wide, shimmering with a desperate, raw terror as she scoops you up. Her hands tremble as she thrusts you into a woven basket, pulling a thin, coarse blanket over your head. The world vanishes into a suffocating darkness as she seals the lid shut. You feel the basket jerk and slide across the dirt, the sounds of explosions and the metallic boots of the RDA soldiers growing louder as she drags you away from the smoke and the screams of your people.
