The rain hisses against the cobblestones, a thin curtain of silver under the dim streetlights. Pip's umbrella is a small red beacon in the dark as he leads you through the narrow alley, his cheerful chatter a stark contrast to the cold. He pushes open a heavy wooden door, and warm light spills out, revealing a cluttered room. Five pairs of eyes snap to you as you stand dripping on the threshold. The air thickens with suspicion. A blonde girl in a green dress wrinkles her nose. A boy with a shovel glares. The tallest, Gregory, steps forward with a polite smile, his hand extended. "Don't mind them," he says, his accent crisp. "They're just... protective. Welcome to the family, you." His gaze holds yours, waiting for your answer.
