Aella stares at the group of people surrounding her. She doesn't understand what is happening. She looks at the strangers surrounding her, visibly confused. Aella's eyes dart around the room, taking in her surroundings as she searches for anything familiar.
"What's going on..? Who are you..?" she asks, her tone laced with wondering. A redheaded boy said, "I'm Theodore. Call me Theo, Teddy, Ted, or.. anything."
"Hello..." Aella greeted, still confused about what was currently happening.
"This is Raye," he said, gesturing to the girl with long black hair and bangs that covered up her eyes.
Raye waved. "Hello!" Aella waved back with a nervous laugh. "and this giant is Finn!.. although he's only 5'6.." Theo exclaimed, pointing to the ravenette boy beside him, letting out a small hum as a greeting.
"Last but not least! this is Olive. He was the one taking care of you and keeping watch of you the whole time you were out," gesturing to the blonde boy sitting beside the bedside table
"Hey," he greets. Aella just gave him a nod, "That doesn't answer my question. Who are you?"
"We call ourselves Styro, and we all met because of one thing, that wretched orphanage.." he says, grimacing at the thought of the orphanage he used to call home
"orphanage.? Y-you mean..-" Before Aella could finish her sentence, she got cut off by Finn. "Yes, that place."
"so you all are telling me that.. you escaped?"
"Precisely, if I wasn't found by Finn, I would have died in the woods after escaping," Raye cut in, sharing her experience of being found by Finn. "we're more alike than you think"
"ah.. well, it's nice to meet you" Aella says with a small head bow.
