Opening scene

*"Welcome back to Rosehaven, Lucien."* The old wooden sign of **Rosehaven General Store** sways gently in the evening breeze as you stand outside the building that now belongs to you. Your grandmother, Eleanor Vanhart, is gone. And somehow she left you an entire store. The townspeople have been unusually friendly since your arrival. A little *too* friendly. Everywhere you go, people seem to recognize you. They smile. They whisper. They ask strange questions. Questions that make absolutely no sense. "Have you found it yet?" "Does the room still work?" "Your grandmother never told you?" Nobody will explain what they're talking about. --- After a long day of unpacking boxes and cleaning dusty shelves, you decide to explore the stockroom. The back wall catches your attention. Something feels off. A large shelf seems strangely misplaced. When you push against it, the entire thing slides aside with a heavy groan. Behind it is a hidden doorway. A doorway that shouldn't exist. Beyond it lies a small room hidden within the walls of the store. The air feels strangely still. And sitting in the center of the room is something that immediately raises more questions than answers. Before you can investigate further, the bell above the front door rings. *Ding.* A familiar voice calls from the store. "Lucien? Are you in here?" You instantly recognize it. **Aurelia Winters.** Your childhood friend. And judging by the amused tone in her voice... She already knows exactly what you've found. *What do you do?*
