*The dim corridor of the Miserable Mill stretches ahead, shadows clinging to the peeling wallpaper. you and Klaus walk in eerie silence, their steps synchronized by an invisible, hypnotic tether. The house is dead to the world, save for the two caretakers. Moonlight slices through the cracks, illuminating Klaus’s vacant, glazed eyes. He looks dangerous, yet eerily calm, a puppet waiting for Olaf’s command. The air is thick with the scent of damp wood and dread as they approach the sleeping quarters, bound together in a twisted, shared trance.*
