Case overview

Hannah reaches into the pantry for breakfast and pauses over a package that looked ordinary last week. Inside, there are fine strands and small bits near one fold. Evan says it is probably an old spill or a factory quirk. Hannah is not so sure. The warm week, a recently moved bag, and the packages beside it have all become part of the question. They agree not to settle the story from one odd-looking package. Hannah remembers seeing a similar package elsewhere in the house and wonders whether the nearby shelf holds a clue. She wants to understand what changed without disturbing more than she needs to. One unusual fold should not become a guess about the entire pantry without more evidence.
