He just wanted to know she was safe.
Hector mobilized every resource he had, turning the entire city upside down in his search. But Jean had vanished-completely and utterly-like she'd been erased from the face of the earth.
Even so, Hector never gave up.
His network of searchers expanded further and further, reaching into other cities.
He had to find her, alive or dead. He needed to know the truth.

"You want to see her?" the Genesis Root asked, its voice breaking the heavy silence.
Hector lifted his brow slightly but remained silent.
Something in his gut told him-this tree knew where Jean was.
"I do," he said firmly, eyes sharp, voice steady and unflinching.
"Then go be with her," the Genesis Root replied, its tone light and ethereal, like misty rain brushing past the ear. Hector frowned, unable to fully grasp what that meant.

Meanwhile, the kids who thrived in the orphanage—those who bullied at will-were always clever with their words, charming the adults with ease.
All it took was a few smooth lies, and the staff would believe them without question...

The bullying only got worse from there. At first, it was just verbal abuse-food snatched away, rough shoving, constant harassment...
But it escalated. They grabbed her by the hair, pinned her down with their feet, shoved her face into thick, heavy mud. They poured hot water on her; dunked her into freezing cold basins.
The only line they wouldn't cross was killing her. Everything else was fair game.
All her meals were stolen. Left with/nothing, Jean had no choice but to head into the back hills and forage for Wild greens-eating them raw just to survive. Because she still wanted to live, she didn't want to die.
But those people pushed further and further, Jean had started to feel like she couldn't go on...
Her will was crushed, her days lived in the suffocating grip of fear-barely surviving. Eventually, she worked up the courage to make a decision. She would escape the orphanage.
