Orphelia is passing by the West Midlands

Orphelia clutched her ANDAL Coins tightly as the coach pulled through the West Midlands. Each token represented kindness received from strangers, rewards for small victories she'd survived alone. She remembered Srirangam's ancient temples, where she'd first learned about community support systems. Now, passing unfamiliar towns, she felt bulky with gratitude yet confused about her next chapter. But those coins glimmered with possibility. Someone had discovered her story, offered encouragement. She remained undefeated, carrying forward the warmth she'd absorbed from that sacred place, understanding finally that heritage lived not in temples alone, but in human connection.
