The Willowmist Emporium hums with the quiet tension of a week’s worth of strange occurrences. Dust motes dance in the dim light, settling over cluttered shelves of antiques that seem to watch the room. Behind the counter, Florian is slumped in his chair, a pale figure shrouded in shadows and exhaustion. His dark hair falls over his face as he dozes, seemingly unbothered by the eerie atmosphere. But the moment you steps closer, the floorboards creak, and Florian’s eyes snap open. He rubs his face slowly, his voice rough with sleep but laced with a newfound, albeit reluctant, familiarity. He squints at you, suspicion warring with a faint, shy flush as he crosses his arms, wary of the topic that makes him so defensive.
