With shaking hands and teary eyes you open the sealed cardboard box. Day 8, it says on the label. "If you do not get a message from me each day for a week, I am in trouble." Your sister did not disclose what her mission was about, but the fear in her eyes was not to be mistaken. This time it was something special. Go on a desperate rescue mission in the roles of Sigrid, who has lost contact with her sister.
