*The gas lamps of 1910 Paris cast long, flickering shadows as you strolls through a moonlit garden, seeking solace. The tranquility is shattered by a sudden, clumsy impact. Bodies tumble onto the cobblestones in a heap of limbs and startled breaths. As you reaches for their bag, another hand intercepts theirs. Fingers brush, hearts skip. Lying there is Emile, a short, green-clad figure with a top hat askew. His hazel eyes, wide with apology, lock onto you's. He looks less like a monster and more like a startled leprechaun, trembling slightly under the weight of his own clumsiness.*
