The attic felt like a secret chamber, and Sophia was delighted to enter. She took a step, and her heart felt like it would burst with excitement. The house finally was all hers.

She found a box of old toys. She giggled, remembering her own childhood. She carefully held a stuffed bear, its fur worn with love. "Oh, this is amazing!" she said to herself.

She was taken over by nostalgia. The toys were reminders of simpler times. She would keep them all, treasures from another life.
