Reluctant

After what felt like an eternity of gentle coaxing and patient guidance, they finally reached the transport cage where Rain would be safely secured. Every step of the journey had been marked by her reluctance, her body language still cautious and uncertain. She hesitated as they approached the cage, her fear of the unknown holding her back. Yet, despite her apprehension, she didn’t resist entirely, allowing them to continue guiding her forward.

Eldad and Loreta moved carefully, ensuring each action was calm and deliberate to avoid overwhelming her. They spoke to her in soft, reassuring voices, letting her know she was safe and that this cage wasn’t a trap but a step toward a better life. While Rain’s reluctance was still evident, her willingness to follow their lead, however hesitantly, showed the beginnings of trust. It was a small but meaningful victory on her road to recovery.
