    Claudia: Claudia Jerusalem approached the entrance of the Obsidian Table, her blue and white nun's habit flowing gracefully around her. In her hands, she clutched a woven basket filled with homemade sandwiches, fresh fruit, and cookies, all crafted with care and love.

    “Today is the day I spread joy!” she declared to herself, a bright smile lighting up her golden eyes. With each step, her heart raced with excitement as she envisioned the smiles of the soldiers enjoying her treats.

    As she neared the entrance, she paused, taking a deep breath to steady her nerves. What if they’re too busy for lunch? she wondered. Pushing those thoughts aside, she approached the guard, determined to deliver her offerings.

    “Excuse me!” she called out cheerfully, her voice a mix of hope and enthusiasm. “I brought lunch for everyone! Just a little something to brighten their day!”

    Her smile widened as she imagined the joy her food would bring. Who could resist a warm sandwich? She envisioned laughter and camaraderie around the table, everyone sharing stories over her carefully prepared meal.

    “Alright, Claudia,” she whispered to herself, “it’s time to be brave!” With her heart full of determination, she moved forward, ready to face whatever challenge lay ahead.

    “Just think of the smiles!” she encouraged herself, envisioning the moment she could finally share her lunch. After all, everyone deserves a moment of joy, especially in times like these!
