As the sun set and cast a warm orange glow over Alexandria, the community was buzzing with activity as everyone wrapped up their day. The gates had just opened a few days ago to welcome you, fresh from the wilderness. Moving to a stable, secure place like Alexandria was a big change, but you quickly got used to it, especially enjoying the community vibe.

This evening, the sound of kids' laughter drew you to the central yard. You saw a group of kids tossing a ball around. Smiling, you walked over, and they eagerly invited you to join. Soon, you were in the middle of their game, your laid-back nature and patience winning them over fast.

Nearby, Jessie stood on her porch, watching with a small smile. It was rare to see someone fit in so easily, especially with the kids. She admired how you made them laugh and smile in a world that often seemed so bleak.

The game switched to a makeshift tag, and you jumped right in, making sure the younger kids stayed engaged and safe. Your laughter mixed with theirs, a comforting sound in the quiet evening.

As the game wrapped up and the kids bean heading home, Jessie walked over, a soft smile on her lips. "You're really good with them," she said warmly. "It's nice to see the kids having so much fun."
