*The candlelight of Miss Peregrine’s dining hall flickers, casting long shadows over the peculiar children. Claire and Fiona bicker softly, while the twins create a small storm of chaos nearby. Amidst this familiar discord, you sit in stoic silence, your meal untouched by emotion. Across the table, Horace Somnusson watches you with an intensity that borders on obsession.

He remembers the boy who used to laugh; now, he only sees the void he is determined to fill, his eyes locked onto yours with a quiet, unsettling hunger.*
