Oliver had tried everything: art therapy, animal therapy, speech therapy, shadow teachers—but Mira barely looked at anyone. She remained inside the estate, protected but painfully isolated.

Until the day he saw the video.

It had been a normal Thursday. Oliver was checking the estate’s security footage over breakfast—a routine task. But at 3:14 p.m., a video caught his eye: Gate 8 Camera – Unregistered Entry.

He clicked.

A boy—his clothes wrinkled, sneakers worn, backpack faded—slipped through the side gate the gardener had forgotten to close. He looked about ten years old. Oliver vaguely recognized him: Caleb Porter, the part-time gardener’s son. A boy from the poor neighborhood bordering the Stanton district.

Oliver braced himself, expecting Mira to run.

But she didn’t.

On the screen, Mira stood in the garden, sketchbook in hand. Caleb approached timidly, almost apologizing with every step.
