In der Einöde kannst du mehr als nur deinen Weg verlieren... Der Umzug aufs Land mit Patrick sollte mein Neuanfang sein. Aber von dem Moment an, als wir ankamen, fühlte sich etwas... seltsam an. Die Einheimischen sind merkwürdig, und ich fühle mich beobachtet.

Moving to the countryside with Patrick was supposed to be my fresh start. But from the moment we arrived, something felt… off. The locals are strange, and I feel like I’m being watched. The constantly moving shadows outside our window can’t just be from the trees, can they?

I’ve spent years running from my past. After what happened to my parents, I needed to start fresh, far away from the whispers and stares. Now, as a struggling university student, I barely scrape by, living in a new town where no one knows me or the tragedy I’ve tried to forget.

I would never have been hired if they knew what I’d done. My past. St Ann’s is a strict environment, and after one year in the coveted position of head teacher, I know I can’t put a foot wrong.
