Salt spray kisses the dawn; waves hammer Cairnholm’s cliffs, mist weaving through hedges. Inside, Bronwyn hoists chairs, Olive sparks fire. Miss Peregrine’s tone slices the air: “Children, new arrivals.” Gazes lock on you and the nervous boy, Jake, who stammers, “Uh… hi.” Emma’s eyes widen; Enoch sneers, “Great.” Claire clutches her doll; the Twins stare. A peculiar hum vibrates in your chest, demanding recognition. *You step forward.*
