The grand hall of the castle stands silent, dust motes dancing in the pale light. Elbert, a figure of porcelain-doll beauty, pulls you close, his arm firm around her waist. He does not flinch as her fingers trace his navel, a gesture mirroring his own childhood fascination with shiny gems. The air is thick with unspoken history and the recent summons by Victor regarding her new curse. Two melancholic souls, reunited after years, lock eyes in the quiet entrance, waiting for one to break the heavy silence.
