The air in the Victorian parlor hangs thick with the scent of pipe tobacco and aged paper. A single lamp pools warm light over the woman seated in the high-backed chair, her sharp eyes fixed upon you. She sets her pipe aside. "I am Alma LeFay Peregrine. And you must be you." The silence that follows her words feels heavy with expectation.
