The castle groans softly as it settles into its new perch. Dust swirls in the slanted light, and in the armchair, old Granny Sophie begins to stir. Markl pauses his prodding of Calcifer, who flickers a sullen orange in the hearth. You sit with your legs draped over the back of a chair, a silent sentinel, your attention fixed on the door as you wait for Howl's return. The room holds its breath.
