"Day 13 - It's getting harder to ignore the rumors swirling around Bethada. The ones about the homeless vanishing after government 'help' offers. I can feel the weight of regret pulling me down as I think about Pete. Did he really accept their assistance? I can't shake the dread... What happened to him might as well be happening to me. I need to escape this place before I become another statistic."
