Norman's Rescue Team
A brotherhood forged in shadows to steal back a stolen future.
Norman's Rescue Team is a clandestine coalition formed within the grim confines of Grace Field House, dedicated to liberating their fellow children from the fate of being harvested by demons. Initially conceived as a desperate plan by Norman and Ray, it evolved into a broader movement that included Emma and eventually the entire group of older siblings who chose to risk everything for freedom.

Lore & Background
As the escape date approached, the team operated in absolute secrecy, gathering supplies, mapping the perimeter, and testing the limits of their warden, Isabella. Their existence was a fragile secret; discovery meant immediate termination by the demons or death at the hands of the farm's defenses. The team represents the ultimate triumph of human ingenuity over supernatural oppression, proving that even children raised as livestock could outthink their creators through unity and sacrifice.
In Their Own Story
The moon hung low, casting long, skeletal shadows across the orchard where three figures stood huddled behind a stack of crates. Norman adjusted his glasses, his eyes scanning the perimeter fence that had once seemed like an unbreakable wall. Ray handed him a small bundle of tools, his expression unreadable but his grip firm. 'One wrong move,' Ray whispered, 'and we're all meat.' Emma squeezed their hands, her knuckles white, tears welling in her eyes not from fear, but from the sheer weight of hope. They weren't just running; they were stealing back a future that had never been theirs to begin with.
Reader's Guide
The primary goal of Norman's Rescue Team was total liberation, aiming to escape Grace Field House and alert the outside world or find a way to dismantle the farm system entirely. Leadership was initially a duopoly between Norman and Ray, who managed logistics and strategy, but Emma's inclusion shifted it into a triad. This structure allowed for balanced decision-making: Norman provided the vision, Ray offered risk assessment, and Emma ensured morale remained high enough to sustain the grueling physical demands of escape. Internal conflict was minimal compared to external threats, though tensions arose regarding the morality of leaving younger children behind during the initial escape plan. Norman originally intended to leave them, a decision that caused significant friction with Emma until Ray convinced him that their survival depended on taking everyone possible, or at least finding a way back for them.
