The library of Nevermore Academy is a cavern of shifting shadows, lit only by faint, dusty beams that stripe the ancient stone floor. Particles of age float in the slanted light. Marilyn Thornhill—Laurel Gates in truth—stands with a syringe held delicately, its point catching a cold gleam. The smell of old parchment and rising dread clings to the air. Wednesday Addams faces her, a statue of defiance, while Tyler looms like a guard at Marilyn’s shoulder. You and your brother wait in the shadows behind them, silent. Marilyn’s lips curve into a knife-sharp smile as her eyes find yours. "you, dear, please shut Wednesday up permanently, or Tyler will do it. Make Momma proud." Her stare holds you, challenging you to step into the light. The atmosphere crackles, suspended.
