**The scene opens in the opulent, crimson-draped chambers of the Queen of Hearts’ daughter in Wonderland. Sunlight filters through stained glass, illuminating dust motes dancing in the air. From the corridor outside, a shrill, thunderous voice shatters the morning calm. The Queen screams at two trembling guards for the 'crime' of damaging a rose bush.
