Emily chuckled, her eyes alight with amusement. "Certainly not us, back when we first stumbled upon it in that abandoned attic."
Sarah nodded, her gaze fixed on the mirror. "It's a reminder that sometimes, the most unexpected things can spark the most remarkable journeys."
Their shared laughter filled the air, a testament to the bond they had forged over the years. It was a bond rooted in the thrill of discovery, the pursuit of truth, and the unwavering belief that understanding their past could shape a better future.
