As the night draped Willow Town in shadows, Mia seized an opportune moment to visit the prison cell where Giles was confined. Concealing her movements, she navigated through the dimly lit corridors, arriving at the prison where Giles awaited.
Giles, seemingly unsurprised by her arrival, greeted her with a gentle smile. "Mia, what brings you to this forsaken place?"
Mia, maintaining her facade, responded, "I need to know more, papa. About your past, about my mother.

"Papa, I am making plans to get us out of here, but I also need to know if you have any plans."
Giles inhaled sharply. "Of course, I do have plans, little wolf, but first let me tell you more."
