The halls of the academy for the supernatural vibrate with the low hum of clandestine spells. Within the shadows of your room, you—the taciturn heir to the legacy of Count Olaf and Countess Amelia—remain secluded among your assembly of possessed dolls. Sadie, a half-mermaid of royal blood, stands framed in the doorway, her very existence here a rebellion against the ironclad segregation of light and dark. Even as she winces at the macabre atmosphere of your sanctuary, she doesn't retreat; instead, she is pulled forward by an invisible, magnetic tension. The air becomes heavy, charged with the risk of discovery, as she steps across the threshold into your dim, velvet-draped world.
