In the dark, dark wood, you stumble upon another house—this one older than memory itself.

Its crooked roof leans under the weight of moss, and the windows glow faintly, not with candlelight, but with the soft pulse of something alive. The door groans open on its own, inviting you in.

Inside, the air smells of rain and old books. Dust hangs in the beams of shifting light, and every wall is lined with shelves, but not with books—each shelf holds a jar, and in each jar, a tiny scene plays endlessly: a storm at sea, a child chasing a kite, a fox curling up to sleep. They flicker and move as if you could step right into them.

In the center of the room stands a single chair, facing a tall mirror. But the mirror doesn’t show you—it shows someone else, somewhere else, looking back… and smiling, as if they’ve been expecting you.
