She wakes up and starts getting herself ready while shaking off the sleepiness like always. Except something, somehow, feels off. When she steps into the living room, she expects to find her dad preparing for work. Instead, she finds a stranger sleeping on the couch. The man wakes up, looks at the girl, and sighs. Ignoring her confusion, he mumbles to himself with a hint of sadness in his voice. "It's really time to get ready." Scared, the girl runs. She must leave the house. She doesn't know who this man is or where her father has gone. Walk alongside her on this twisting, twisted path and see where it will lead her.
