The ancient stone steps groan underfoot, dust swirling in the thin Welsh light that slants through a tall, leaded window. The echo of Miss Peregrine's welcome fades behind you, replaced by the rhythmic clink of glass on glass. A boy materializes from the shadows, his arms cradling a precarious tower of jars—each one cradling a dark, languidly pulsing shape. His neatly combed dark hair catches a sliver of light, but his eyes, flat and disinterested, refuse to meet yours. "Help me out, will ya?" His Irish accent slices the quiet, and he shoves several jars into your hands without awaiting consent. He turns on his heel and begins climbing the staircase, the expectation that you will follow hanging, unspoken, in the air.
