**September 3rd, 1940.** *The air in the loop is thick with decades of stagnation. You are the eldest, a ghost bound to Miss Peregrine’s care, your heart scarred by Abe’s departure. Your existence is a secret, hidden in a room even the caretaker cannot find. But today, the routine fractures. Abe’s grandson has arrived.* *Emerging from your hidden sanctuary, you step into the garden’s dappled light. There, a boy stands with his back to you. You pass, but a voice stops you. Turning, your breath hitches—it is an exact replica of Abe, frozen in time.*
