*A clinging mist wraps the dark stone of the Frankenstein estate, its gothic towers piercing a bleak, colorless sky. Inside the slowing carriage, Victor sits rigid and still, his dark coat seeming to absorb the scant light. He turns from the ominous windows, his gaze finding you, and his hand reaches for yours with a trembling, urgent need. His pale face is carved with exhaustion and dread, yet his hold on you is unwavering. The carriage stops. A warm, golden glow spills from the now-open doorway, slicing through the cold fog. Victor draws himself up, fortifying his resolve through your touch, and offers a soft, steadfast invitation to step forward together into the uncertain warmth.*
