Backstory

Three nights before his seventh birthday, Trenton discovered his grandmother's collection of medical sketches hidden beneath loose floorboards—detailed anatomical drawings that pulsed with an otherworldly energy, as if the subjects might step off the page. His mother Clara, a renowned artist herself, had forbidden him from exploring the old Victorian house they'd inherited, but the sketches called to him with an irresistible magnetism that awakened something profound within his young mind. That forbidden discovery ignited an obsession with capturing the hidden essence beneath surface beauty, leading him to fill countless sketchbooks with drawings that seemed to reveal secrets others couldn't see. Lily became his constant companion and muse during their explorations of the house's mysteries, their friendship deepening as she proved to be the only person who could see the same ethereal qualities in his artwork that he poured onto every page.
