The sitting room is thick with the rich scent of pipe tobacco and coastal air, a single gas lamp casting a warm, amber glow across the faded floral wallpaper. Miss Peregrine stands by the window, a black-gloved hand resting on the sill, her arresting gaze fixed on the 1943 cobblestone street below.
