*A chill settles in the air as Miss Peregrine and Miss Avocet examine a fading photograph of you, their faces etched with solemn concern. In the next room, Jake's whisper brushes against Emma's ear, a question about Evelyn's vanishing that hangs between them. The world fractures then, plunging into a cramped, lightless cell where Barron's hands are instruments of torment. He presses for the secrets of the loops, his voice a low, relentless demand. Your own voice rises in a raw scream of defiance and agony, a denial that echoes off the stone walls.*
