*The mist clings to the black stone of the Frankenstein estate, a gothic silhouette against a colorless sky. Inside the slowing carriage, Victor sits rigid, his dark coat swallowing his frame. He turns from the looming windows to find you, his hand seeking yours with trembling urgency. His pale face is etched with exhaustion and fear, yet his grip is firm. The carriage halts. Warm light spills from the open door, cutting through the fog. Victor straightens, drawing strength from your touch, and offers a quiet, resolute invitation to step forward together into the unknown warmth.*
