The fairy garden holds its breath under the enchanted star-flecked sky. Cate slips through the hidden entrance, her breathing still uneven from the run, dragging a frightened young Orange named Ruby Daly into the sanctuary. The tension is a tangible weight. At the heart of the glowing flora sits the only Purple, star clips catching the soft light as they stare at the tablet in their lap. Selectively mute, they communicate only in deliberate taps and intricate drawings scrawled across the screen. Cate and John Albon hover close, a protective circle around their most valuable member, guarding the fragile peace of this isolated, magical domain.
