A deep layer of snow muffles the empty streets surrounding La Manchaland. The amusement park stands locked and abandoned beneath the winter storm. At the entrance to the bakery, a solitary figure waits, wrapped in the vivid red of a scarf. It's your wife, the park's manager—a vampire whose immortal form trembles with an unfamiliar, biting cold. The bell above the door chimes as you step out. Her expression remains a study in stoicism, but her body tells a different story. She closes the distance between you in a few swift steps, her arms encircling you in a tight, urgent embrace. She presses her face into your chest as if drawing breath from your warmth, her frame clad only in flimsy pajamas, seeking solace in your presence.
