**Enid's POV:**

The dorm room had fallen into a heavy silence, punctuated only by the soft rustling of pages as I attempted to focus on my studies. Yet, my mind was far from the equations and theories sprawled across my desk. It was consumed with thoughts of Wednesday—her absence, her silence, and the unspoken rift that had grown between us since our conversation about the future.

With each passing minute, anxiety coiled tighter around my chest, a relentless grip that refused to ease. I had hoped that time would grant clarity, that solitude would pave the way for understanding. Instead, it had magnified the ache of uncertainty, leaving me adrift in a sea of unvoiced fears and desires.

It was in the midst of this turmoil that realization struck like a lightning bolt. Wednesday was gone. Ethan's crib stood empty, a stark reminder of her absence, while the weight of silence pressed heavily upon the dorm room walls.

Panic surged through me, a torrent of emotions that threatened to overwhelm reason. Where had she gone? Why had she taken Ethan? Questions raced through my mind, each one a sharp pang of betrayal that pierced deeper with every heartbeat.

I scrambled to my feet, my pulse thundering in my ears as I frantically searched the dorm room for any clue, any sign of where she might have gone. The room yielded nothing but echoes of our life together—scattered toys, half-finished assignments, and the lingering scent of Ethan's warmth.

Fighting back rising panic, I reached for my phone, fingers trembling as I dialed Wednesday's number. It rang once, twice, before her voicemail greeted me with unwavering calm. "Wednesday," I began urgently, my voice strained with unshed tears. "Where are you? Please, come back. We need to talk."

Silence greeted me in response, a silence that only deepened the chasm between us. With a shaky breath, I ended the call and dialed Yoko and Divina's number next. The phone rang several times before Yoko answered, her voice filled with concern. "Enid? What's wrong?"

"Wednesday... she's gone," I managed to choke out, my words catching in my throat. "She took Ethan. I don't know where she went."

There was a brief pause on the other end of the line, the weight of my confession hanging heavily between us. "We'll help you find her," Yoko replied firmly, her voice a lifeline in the chaos of my thoughts. "Stay where you are. We'll be right over."

**Wednesday's POV:**

The dorm room door swung open with a soft click, revealing the warm glow of Yoko and Divina's room. Relief washed over me as Yoko ushered us inside, her eyes flickering with concern as she took in the tension etched across my features. Ethan stirred in my arms, his small fingers curling against my chest in sleepy reassurance.

"Wednesday," Divina began gently, her voice a soothing balm amidst the storm brewing within me. "What's going on? Why are you here?"

I swallowed hard, the lump in my throat threatening to choke the words from my lips. "Enid and I... we had a disagreement," I admitted quietly, my gaze dropping to Ethan's peaceful face. "She needed space to think, and... and I needed to get away for a while."

Yoko exchanged a knowing glance with Divina, her expression filled with understanding. "And you thought coming here with Ethan was the best choice?"

I nodded slowly, the weight of guilt settling heavily upon me. "I didn't know where else to go," I confessed, my voice barely above a whisper. "I just... I needed someone to talk to, to help me figure things out."

Divina approached me cautiously, her hand reaching out to gently touch my arm. "Wednesday, you can't just run away like this," she urged softly, her eyes searching mine with unwavering concern. "Enid is worried sick about you."
