The Witch Baby’s latest game—an improvised spell that shivers with possibility—pulls Lulu across familiar streets toward a corner of town where lights flicker and legends loom.

Each decision threads through the corridors, leaving footprints in dust that refuse to settle. Outside, the rain asks questions it cannot answer, and Elara answers with action, the sort that redefines what a promise can cost when its fabric is cut by real fear and real courage.
