— A tattered manuscript page —
"3rd day of Winter, 1843...
The western door screams again tonight. But this time, I hear a heartbeat inside. Throbbing. Soft. As though something—or someone—is waiting to be let out."

— A torn letter (between Alaric and his father) —
"My son,
Never open that door. Even if... [the rest is torn and stained with ink] ...you will die as your mother did."

— A cryptic note about Elara (before her arrival) —
"One day, a girl will arrive. Silent as the grave, bearing storms in her veins.
She will be our salvation... or our final ruin."

Is this a prophecy... or a warning?
