"Come on, I'll bring you there right now!" Leonardo grasped Annick's tiny hand, guiding her away from the courtroom. They headed to a quiet lounge he'd arranged beforehand. Pushing the door open, he gestured for Annick to step inside.
"Your mummy's waiting in there, Annick. Go find her!"
Annick gave a small nod before walking forward. The space was decorated with countless vibrant pinwheels, twirling softly in the gentle air current.
Annick moved toward the window, spotting a woman's silhouette. The figure held a spinning pinwheel in her hands.
Drawing closer, Annick mustered her bravery and spoke up, "Are you my mummy? My name is Annick..."
She pulled off her mask to reveal her small face, wanting her mother to see her properly.
