Adam observed the group of children scattered across the vast hall.
Despite their young faces, their wary glances toward him and his companions made it evident they were uneasy.
Sensing their discomfort, Adam took a calming breath and raised his hand in a friendly wave, his lips curving into a reassuring smile.
The children exchanged uncertain looks, their work momentarily forgotten.
The 14-year-old girl who had led Adam and his group into the hall noticed the growing tension. Stepping forward, she raised her hand to address the children. "Focus on your tasks," she commanded, her voice firm. "We won't be staying here for long."
Adam is very surprised to see that this 14 year old girl is commanding all those children and there is an authority and control in her voice.
