The sun hung low in the sky, casting a gentle, golden light across the village as Lydia and I stood together, contemplating our next steps. The air was warm, but a light breeze provided a welcome relief. Lydia's voice broke the silence, filled with a mixture of hope and uncertainty. "What should we do now?"
