Vanya sprinted up the stairs, her breaths coming in short, sharp bursts. Avni trailed behind, struggling to keep up, her mind spinning with confusion. "Why are we running?" she panted, barely able to get the words out. Vanya's eyes darted around the first-floor landing as they reached the top, scanning the doors.
