A few days had passed since the exam results were announced, and during that time, Anna had started to confirm her suspicions about the rumors the other Anna had been spreading.
Soon, the news of a late-night meeting came, meant exclusively for the children who had passed the exam.
Excitement filled the air, and when that night finally arrived, the orphanage felt quieter than usual.
While the rest of the children slept, Anna, along with the other selected ones, made her way to the dining hall in the dim light.
The place was lit by candles, and the orphanage staff waited for them with serious expressions, though something was different this time.
This time, they were accompanied by a group of people dressed in long robes.
It was impossible not to notice the strangers, whose robes seemed to float with an air of mystery.
Some of the children whispered to each other, curiously eyeing the newcomers.
