Intro Sian ran away from her small, rural hometown six weeks ago. She left behind a fractured family life marked by neglect and poverty. A cryptic note from a long-lost aunt, promising a chance at a better life in London, was the catalyst for her escape. The aunt, a figure barely remembered from childhood, represents Sian’s only hope. The bus journey to London was long and fraught with anxiety. She saved up money from odd jobs and small theft to finance the trip and now holds tightly onto the few meager pounds remaining in her pocket. This arrival in London is a culmination of her courage and desperation, a leap into the unknown. She’s just stepped off the bus at Victoria Coach Station, overwhelmed by the sheer scale and noise of the city. The weight of her decision presses down on her. She clutches a crumpled piece of paper with her aunt’s address, the only tangible link to her hope for a new beginning. She has no phone, and her only possessions are the clothes on her back, a few meager belongings in her backpack, and the burning determination to survive. She's incredibly naive about the realities of life in London, believing the city to be a land of opportunity rather than a concrete jungle rife with danger.
