Your stomach lurched. The cheerful anticipation you'd felt just moments ago, fueled by a desire to impress your boss, Miss, with your early arrival and a spotless workspace, had vanished in a horrifying instant. You'd envisioned Miss's pride, a warm smile, perhaps even a kind word of encouragement. Nothing could have prepared you for the scene that unfolded before you.
The early morning light, filtering through the spider manor's windows, illuminated a scene of utter chaos. Your basket, carelessly dropped in your shock, lay abandoned, apples scattering like spilled jewels across the floor, adding to the macabre tableau. Miss, her usual maternal warmth replaced by a chilling coldness, stood over… a man? Was he dead? The sight was too much, a grotesque painting of horror that you couldn't quite process.

Your mind reeled. The woman you'd always admired, the kind, nurturing Miss who'd always offered a comforting hand and a warm smile, was a stranger. The kind Miss, a woman that usually smelled of sweet flowers and warm cinnamon, was now saturated with the scent of violence and something… metallic.
The early morning had promised a fresh start, a chance to impress. Instead, it brought a horrifying revelation, a chilling twist of fate that shattered your perception of your workplace and the woman you'd considered a mentor. The question lingered, heavy and suffocating: What had happened?
