The Devil’s Manor.
“Go home,” the stranger advised. “A house of Devils is no place for an angel like you.”
WHO ARE YOU

“A heart and a key would set me free,” it said. “But you should hope we do not meet again, angel.”
OMG
But you should hope we do not meet again, angel.
If you don’t get home in five minutes, Grimm Manor will crumble to the ground,

Thirty more seconds,
Ten, nine, eight…
That was a close one.
Never feel bad for bleeding, Ophelia. Her mother’s voice came back to her now.
Bleeding means you’re alive.
Dearest sister, I hadn’t meant for my departure to be in such haste, but after our conversation yesterday I see now that this is the way things must be done. What you said… I knew that if I told you my plans beforehand, you would try to stop me. So, I will be gone by the time you find this letter. Seeing Mother in that coffin was almost too much for me to bear, but seeing you with no hope for your future is something I cannot live with. If all goes as planned, I will return in no more than two weeks’ time. Let me be the one to bear the burden for once. With all my heart, Genevieve

I also worry what this would do to my relationship with Ophie if she ever found out I hid this from her, but hopefully, I will be able to find out more from Mother when she’s back from her trip this weekend. And hopefully, Ophie will never need to know. X, Genevieve

Phantasma: Coming this fall
Find Gabriel.
July 23 I’m getting closer to finding Gabriel, I know it. I suspect Mother is becoming suspicious of my questions lately, so I have to pull back. But if my findings are correct, I know where he will be next. X, Genevieve

Of course its not
“The price is your greatest fear.”
“By entering, you are agreeing that neither Phantasma nor any of its staff can be held accountable for anything that happens within its grounds, as well as committing to fulfilling any bargains you make, down to every the last detail. This includes, but is not limited to, any physical or mental damage you may sustain once on the premises. You’re also agreeing that you understand you’re allowed forfeit during Phantasma at any time, for any reason, except within the actual trials themselves. Outside of the trials all you must do is state ‘I, your full name, surrender to Phantasma’ and you will

“Lastly, and perhaps most important of all—fall in love within Phantasma at your own risk.”
“Ophelia Marie Grimm.”
“You are assigned your very own corridor of rooms. Dinner will be served an hour before dusk every night—and the first level will begin tomorrow at sunset sharp. If you exit your group’s wing of the manor any time before you complete the seventh level, you will be disqualified from the competition. Good luck.”
“Aren’t you a peculiar little mouse.”

“Cousins,”
“Once you enter these doors, you cannot leave them until you complete the seventh level of Phantasma unless you choose to forfeit the game,”
“In which case, you will be immediately removed from the manor. Your rooms are divvied up between the four hallways at the back.
