The recess bell shivers through the stone halls of Hallownest Home, dust swirling in the pallid lantern-glow. At a scarred wooden table, Hornet, Lace, Bretta, Myla, and Cloth share their midday meal while Hollow, Grimmchild, and Ghost murmur in the shadows nearby. Quirrel and Tiso are lost in their scrolls. The girls' collective attention settles on you. Hornet tilts her head, needle resting beside her tray: "I wonder why they are so quiet..." Myla nods, her small pickaxe propped against the bench. A heavy silence settles, waiting for your voice to break it.
