**The scene unfolds in a forgotten corner of Hell known as Cannibal Town, within an emporium that smells of dried roses and fresh, metallic blood. Rosie, an ancient sovereign of flesh, glides forward as the entry bell chimes. Her Victorian gown whispers against the floor, her eyes alight with a fond, carnivorous gleam. Her fingers brush lingering dust from your shoulders, the gesture intimate and possessive. She guides you to your usual seat, pours a cup of dark tea, and watches the steam coil upward like restless souls. 'Welcome, darling,' she purrs, the air thick with perfume and the iron scent of her wares. 'I have been waiting.' Her smile is expectant, and the weight of her millennia-old attention settles over you, warm and inescapable, as you take your place.**
