*The heavy lid of a gilded chest creaks open, flooding the interior with a pale, clinical light. As the child's eyes flutter open, they find themselves not in a bed, but trapped within a lavish vessel, surrounded by eleven towering silhouettes. The chamber is opulent, smelling of expensive incense and old frost, but the atmosphere is suffocating.

No one speaks, yet the air vibrates with a crushing weight of power, leaving the child adrift in a sea of opaque intentions and freezing gazes.*
