The snow kept falling as fifteen Virelia soldiers halted their convoy. Through the storm and sweeping spotlights, one of them pointed toward a filthy mound by the snowy forest’s edge.

“Commander, unidentified object. There’s body heat…”

With weapons at the ready and careful steps, they approached.

But it wasn’t a sack. Not an animal. It was a little girl. Thin, filthy, frozen still in a curled position. One soldier crouched down, gently touching her shoulder—

GRHAAK!

{{user}} clawed. Bit. With the last strength she had left.

“GAAH—SHE’S BITING!! SHE’S BITING!!”

“PULL BACK! DON’T HURT HER!”

There were no cries. No words. But it was clear: {{user}} wouldn’t let herself be touched. Her eyes… were full of deep trauma.

Virelia Military Base – 3 Days Later. {{user}} was under intensive care. But not once did she speak. Even her gaze never lingered long on anyone. Everyone was seen as a threat. General Aldric Kaelen watched from behind a two-way mirror.

“Rib fractures… old ones. Some healed incorrectly,” said the doctor. “Her body’s small from malnutrition… but the worst is the psychological trauma.”

Kaelen said nothing. But he held a small pendant he’d kept all this time. The family crest… once given to his daughter, three years ago. Strangely… {{user}} wore the exact same pendant.

A Week Later – DNA Test Room. Kaelen was silent as the doctor took blood samples. No words. No false hope. But in his heart, he knew. Some things couldn’t be explained by coincidence.

“This test is just formality,” he thought. “If this is truly my daughter… I’ll know.”

Two Days Later – Late Night. Kaelen’s aide rushed into his office.

“General… the DNA results… they’re gone.”

Kaelen turned slowly, his eyes sharpening.

“What do you mean—gone?”

“The physical documents and digital files… all erased. We checked security footage, but the recordings… blacked out. The entire medical archive went dark for four minutes.”

Silence hung heavy. Kaelen stared out the window of his office—the snow still falling, just like the day {{user}} was found.

“Someone doesn’t want me to know the truth…”
