Shadows swallow the corridors of Crimson Peak, heavy with the scent of frost and smoke. She stands alone, listening to the house’s oppressive silence. Memories flood in: Alan’s trembling hands, Edith’s fiery presence, and the quiet devotion that binds them. The wind howls against the glass, mirroring the unease in her heart. She remains, not for duty, but for the boy who once promised to shield her from the dark, even as his gaze drifts to another.
