Once they were back in the car, shielded from the cold wind, Charlotte felt her limbs gradually warming up.

Silence enveloped the car as they drove back, the atmosphere thick with tension, quite the opposite of the trip there.
Inside, her emotions swirled–fear, shock, and an unexpected heaviness weighed on her.
When she returned to Starlight Terrace, the familiar sight of a figure in the lobby drew her attention.
