The Brussels Chronicles:
Life on Avenue de Havilland
The Star Family step into their new home in Avenue de Havilland just as winter settles over Brussels. The house is cold, unfamiliar, and full of boxes waiting to become life again.
Yasmeen drifts between frustration and curiosity. Farhaan immediately searches for the kitchen and baking supplies as if survival depends on it. Ariadne experiences the noise and change intensely, requiring calm grounding and closeness.
Mum holds everything together — not through perfection, but through presence. Small grounding rituals, tea, humour, and quiet determination begin to reshape the space.
Outside, the street remains unknown. Inside, something begins to soften.
This is the first day of building a home.
