The group slowed as they approached the orphanage's backyard, their eyes narrowed at the infamous orange tree.
Hansel and Gretel were certain that there were spirits lurking around here... In fact, they could see it but...
Seon and Yunnie could not.
Seon tilted her head, arms crossed. "This is it? Just an orange tree? How disappointing."
She squinted at the tree as if willing it to transform into something interesting.
It didn't.
Gretel shook her head firmly.
"No, there's something underneath."
Before Seon could ask how she knew, Gretel was already on her knees, pressing her hands to the ground.
The tree groaned, its roots twisting unnaturally as the earth cracked open beneath it.
"Whoa!"
Yunnie yelped, stumbling back as dirt flew everywhere.
The roots heaved one final time, revealing a hidden manhole beneath them.
Seon inspected the scene, slightly impressed.
