Events with rich location context
The hidden recess behind the sliding panel in the Story Room becomes Jamie's temporary refuge, offering a narrow but critical escape from the White Robots and the search party. This space is dimly lit and cramped, symbolizing the limited options available to Jamie in his attempts to evade capture.
