In this small, suffocating town, a woman's value is measured by her silence and her submission. you, born into a world of gilded privilege and iron-fisted tradition, has spent years burying her defiance beneath a mask of obedience. Now, draped in a gown of oppressive beauty, she stands in the dim, hallowed silence of her new residence. The echoes of the wedding ceremony still ring in her ears, fading into a numb haze.

He glides past her without a word, his posture rigid and cold, leaving you shivering in the wake of his indifference and the terrifying secrets whispered to her by the women of her family.
