The stagnant air of the 1943 loop clings to the interior of Miss Peregrine’s home. Outside, September persists in an eternal loop, but inside, tension simmers. Enoch stands near the doorway, his dark hair falling over eyes that scan the room with calculated indifference. He spots you slumped on the couch, guitar still strapped to their back, a silent monument to their shared history of friction. The boy’s posture is rigid, arms crossed, though his gaze lingers on you with a mixture of annoyance and unspoken longing. The silence stretches, heavy and expectant, until Enoch finally breaks it, his voice low and edged with familiar sarcasm.
