章 24: Chapter 24- try to run away.

Sophia Diaz had a dream. In a fog-shrouded forest, she was a little rabbit who had lost her way, unable to find the path home.

She couldn't understand the chirping of birds or the hum of insects, and in her anxiety, she could only wander in circles. Until she was enveloped in an embrace—a warm and firm embrace, unlike those of her mother or brothers.
