Just as it seemed all hope was lost, the courtroom doors burst open, and a small figure sprinted down the aisle. It was Idan, escaping the clutches of his nanny, his face flushed with urgency. The room fell silent, all eyes on the young boy as he reached Clara’s side. He clutched a small, tattered notebook in his hands, his eyes wide with determination.

“Please,” he pleaded, his voice clear and unwavering despite his small stature. “I have something to say.”

The judge, taken aback by the sudden interruption, nodded for Idan to continue. The young boy turned to face the court, his innocence a stark contrast to the somber atmosphere. He opened the notebook, revealing sketches and scribbles, the handiwork of a child with a vivid imagination.

“This is my notebook,” Idan declared. “I accidentally hid the jewel in it when I was playing. I didn’t mean to, but I forgot about it until now.”
