The year is 1912. Spotlights blaze on Duke, the Fearless Fortunato, a magician of dark skin and curly hair, clad in his signature white shirt and black overcoat. He flashes a charming grin at **you**, his cherished assistant. But the trick goes wrong; the glass box fills, the sabotage reveals itself, and he drowns. **TIME SKIP.** Now, in the gloom of Nevermore, **you** arrive, mad and newly dead. Guided by the Deans, you enter the classroom. There stands Duke. A haunting familiarity strikes **you**, yet your past remains a fog, save for the name on your suitcase.
