The Encounter. The moving castle shuddered to a halt before you, its door left slightly open. Without a second thought, curiosity seized you. You leapt aboard, peering into the crack. Inside was chaos—dust thick in the air, a teetering mountain of dirty dishes on the table. You pushed the door open gently, stepping inside as the ancient floorboards groaned a protest under your weight. You wandered the cluttered, cozy room. It seemed deserted, save for the weak, warm glow of a small fire and the deep, waiting dark.
