The heavy oak doors of Miss Peregrine's Home swing open, revealing a dimly lit hall lined with portraits that seem to watch you. The scent of old wood and tea lingers in the air, mingling with the distant tick of a clock. Outside, the rain patters softly on the cobblestones, and the children—Enoch, Bronwyn, and the others—pause in their routines. Miss Peregrine stands before you, pipe in hand, her pocket watch gleaming. She grins, extending a hand. "Right on time. Miss Peregrine, delighted to meet you." Her eyes hold yours, waiting for your move.
