After ensuring they were fed, clothed, and felt safe in his presence, Jasem turned his attention to the girl and the two young men accompanying her. A wave of relief washed over him as he observed their ease and comfort around him, prompting him to dive straight into his inquiries, eager for answers.
"How did you end up here?" Jasem asked, skipping any unnecessary small talk and addressing the three directly, his curiosity piqued.
