Miss Peregrine’s home, afternoon. The sun bathed the island in warm light, a cool breeze rustling the trees.

The meal began peacefully, yet beneath the clatter of cutlery, a tension lingered. You felt it immediately—the sharp, intermittent weight of Enoch’s glances, stealing towards you from across the table.
