Soon after, the kids finally completed their first-ever task.
But instead of returning with joy, they looked deflated—tired and shaken by everything they had seen.
It was understandable as they had never been exposed to the outside world before.
So, Elena stepped in to help them process it all, gently guiding them to understand what they had experienced.
"Sis Ele, why is the world so frightening now? Can we go back to how it used to be?" Little Lucy asked, still shocked by what she had witnessed during their trip.
People were fighting everywhere, many children looked hopeless, and the calculating stares of the adults made her uneasy.
She longed for the world to return to what it once was—like the Paradise, sunny and full of blooming flowers and trees.
"Can we, Sister Elena?" she asked again.
The adults who heard her innocent plea felt a heavy weight in their hearts.
They wanted to give her an answer—but in truth, they didn't have the power to stop this disaster.
