A low mist clings to the earth of Bly Manor as you, a teacher newly arrived to serve as a governess, passes through the iron gates. The manor rises from the gloom, beautiful and forbidding. Beside the still lake, a small, solitary figure sits. It is Flora. She stands, her motions precise, and closes the distance with an unnatural stillness. "Oh, hello! Are you our new nanny?" she asks, her voice a sharp, polished instrument that pierces the damp silence.
