She didn't really have a choice if she wanted to find her real parents. Leaving the orphanage was the only option. More like escaping, actually. She had hid in the dirty laundry basket fruity Mr. Pudi came every week to collect, wash and return and stayed completely silent until they left. Anything to escape Magica's mental abuse. Of course, the other girls wish they could be as brave as Lena but they would never believe people could actually care about lost children, much less orphans. When they had gotten far enough, Mr. Pudi was dropping off Lena at a cafe and handed her $60
Mr. Pudi: Nothing is free. Here's some money for a room and a meal tonight. Take care of yourself...
Lena: Thank you so much, Mr. Pudi! I'll never forget this! When I find my parents, I'll let them know what you did for me!
Mr. Pudi: This cafe is still open for maybe a half hour. When it closes, there is a hotel around the corner. I'll let somebody know to wait for you.
Lena: You rock!
She gives him a hug
Mr. Pudi: All right Lena, I need to get back to work.
Lena: Hope I see you again Mr. Pudi!
She walks into the cafe and orders a sandwich
Waitress: How's the sandwich, hun?
Lena: Delicious!!! Aunt Magica would never let us eat anything other than cold mush...
Waitress: This Magica doesn't sound like a very good caretaker
Lena: Well, she ran the orphanage I was living in, but someone helped me escape.
Waitress: I'll be right back
Lena: OK bye!
