After driving for more than two hours, they finally arrived at the parking lot outside of the picnic area. Ariana had spent the previous night preparing everything they needed for the trip, and had thoroughly studied Marge's plan to make sure they had everything on the list.

The trunk of the car was overflowing with all of the supplies they would need for the camping trip.

Ariana asked for Horace's help to move all the necessary ingredients and camping utensils. Meanwhile, Theodore had to take care of Alina due to his physical limitations.

The little girl stood in front of Theodore, clutching a toy chicken. They exchanged a wordless glance, with only the sound of the toy filling the silence.

“Let's go," Theodore instructed without a hint of emotion on his face.
