The dust of the hinterlands coats the windows of Mister Poe’s car as it groans to a halt in VFD. Inside, the Baudelaire siblings sit in tense silence, the weight of their seventh guardianship pressing down. When the doors open, the barren landscape offers no comfort. Mister Poe, after a fit of coughing, dismisses them with a curt order to see the elders. As his car drives away, leaving them isolated, the trio approaches the town hall. Inside, the air is thick with the scent of old wool and judgment. Three figures in black cloaks and crow-adorned hats sit on a pedestal, flanked by a sparse congregation of adults. Klaus’s hazel eyes scan the room, landing on a lone child in the pews—you—sitting beside your mother, head bowed, fingers working silently with a crochet hook and yarn.
