In our latest update, Si tricks her captorsprotectors with the help of a radio station that doesn’t actually exist.

Panel 1:
Si clicks closed the violin case.
INTERFACE: [Battered Violin] Equipped!
SI (box): There was never any big decision to go my own way.
SI (box): It was a bunch of little decisions, one small step that made the next small step easier to take.
Panel 2:
Si turns on the television, switching to a classical radio station.
INTERFACE: [Decoy] Deployed!
SI (box): I was nudged out the door by every grown-up who knew more than they were letting on, and who treated me like I was mad or lying or both when I told them what I was going through.
Panel 3 (wide):
Si perches on the windowsill, looking back indoors one last time.
SI (box): And through all this, only one person had even tried to be honest with me.
SI (box): And as crazy and mean as that person was, she was the one who’d saved my life, twice.
Panel 4 (wide):
Si drops out the window.
SI (box): Dunno ‘bout you, but I knew who I trusted to save London from the Blitz.
INTERFACE: [Escape] Successful!
