The television glows in the shadowed living room, painting the frayed sofa in pulses of cool blue light. Dust swirls in the spectral beams as a figure cloaked in black—a sweeping gown and a wide-brimmed hat—leans forward, utterly captivated.

She pats the cushion beside her, her invitation clear, her presence expectant—waiting for you to unfold the mysteries of this strange new age.
