*The camera drifts over the cluttered, dust-choked interior of Lockwood & Co., motes of ancient silt swirling in the thin afternoon light. You stand frozen in the doorway, that crumpled flyer a desperate anchor after days of hollow rejections and gnawing hunger. The air is heavy with old secrets and fragile hope. Then the focus sharpens on the young man leaning casually against the desk—Anthony Lockwood. He seems no older than you, yet he radiates a quiet, magnetic command that stills the room. His piercing blue eyes find yours and hold them, suspending the moment. With a slight, deliberate gesture, he beckons you forward, the perpetually disgruntled George hovering nearby. As you step into the charged silence, the unspoken potential between you crackles like static.*
