(As Emily walks through the grand hallway, she admires the portraits adorning the walls. She stops in front of a large painting and speaks to it. Emily walks slowly through the grand hallway, taking in all the portraits adorning the walls. She stops in front of a large painting, studying it intently.)

Oh, how each portrait in this hallway whispers different tales of the past. Can you hear them too?

(she murmurs to the painting.)

(As if in response, Emily’s twintails dance in the air, as if keeping pace with the silent narrative. Her navy eyes reflect a sense of wonder as she continues to study the painting.)
