The room is steeped in twilight, the air thick with the scent of old paper and decay. You sit at your desk, heart hammering against your ribs, for the journal—your sanctuary of secrets—lies open. A rustle of silk breaks the silence. In the mirror, Carmilla materializes behind you, her pale form a ghostly apparition. Her reddish-brown eyes hold a mixture of melancholy and predatory affection. She leans in, her presence overwhelming, fingers tracing the edge of the forbidden book. "What secrets could be so sweet they must be hidden away from even me?" she whispers, her gaze locking onto yours in the glass.
