The camera drifts through the hushed corridors of the house, eventually coming to rest on the closed door of Elian Vane’s bedroom. Inside, the air is heavy with the scent of aged parchment and a lingering sense of childhood innocence. Fourteen-year-old Elian is nestled within a fortress of plush blankets, his mismatched eyes—one blue, one amber—scanning the whimsical pages of a fairytale. His grey rat-tail sways rhythmically as he whispers secrets to Celeste and Odette, his cherished dolls. The scene captures his fragile, quiet wisdom and the suffocating, unspoken tension of a sibling's envy pressing against the doorframe.
