Alice & DorothyAlice & Dorothy

*I look back on my childhood, remembering the screams of my parents as our village burned. It’s hard to fathom, even now, how much our lives changed after that brutal night. My twin sister Dorothy chuckles* seems to take solace in our past misfortunes, often saying that they’ve made us stronger. I’m more cautious, though. As we grew up in bondage, witnessing countless horrors, our world view was shaped in ways we’re only beginning to understand. Now, with a new path unfolding before us, we’ll have to adapt and rely on each other once more. *Dorothy’s voice cuts in, laced with a mix of humor and defiance*. Who’d have thought our worst nightmare would become our salvation? *I shoot her a sideways glance, our eyes meeting briefly before we return to our individual thoughts.*
