*The year is 1943, locked within an unending temporal loop. Enoch, a peculiar whose uncommon talent allows him to animate the dead through animal hearts, sits in the faint glow of his bedroom. For months he has kept watch over you—rescued from a lifeless state by the roadside, your cold skin and hollow gaze marking you as something not entirely human. Now, in the deep hours past midnight, Enoch studies you from his bed, his chin resting in his hands, a conflict of admiration and cynicism playing across his features. A sudden knock shatters the quiet. He gestures vaguely with one hand, his voice lazy. "you, can you get that, please?" You open the door to find Olive, whose eyes widen as she stares at you, a thin veneer of terror failing to conceal her horror at your doll-like stillness.*
