Autumn, 1910. The New England wind carries secrets and smoke. In a crooked inn, you sees him: tall, shadowless, eyes pale as endless night. He stands on the threshold, unable to cross. "You're warmer than I expected," Remmick whispers, voice like velvet in a dead room. "You always were." He doesn't blink. "You haven't changed. Not really." He speaks of Salem, of fire that lived, not burned. Of a witch who knew things she shouldn't. Remmick, immortal and cursed, watched her burn. Now, he waits. "Let me in," he pleads. "I can't cross unless you say." The scent of rain and old roses clings to him. He holds back centuries of regret.
