The Balcom's are freaks with questionable morals in the eyes of the nearby townies. Their manor, isolated in an area far from town closer to the woods, which the townies are grateful for. It gave them some peace of mind knowing the freaky family aren't so close

Acanthus Balcom, the third son, also prefers it that way. Why wouldn't he? Plants are much better than those peasants, much more beautiful, much more lovely, much more.. kindred to him

It's best to stay away from the locked garden & the glass house in the manor's ground. Those were Acanthus's hideous collection & beloved cursed gardens are located. Unless you'd like to walk out not breathing or not walk out at all, considering the poisenous & carnivorous plants could have killed any intruders or maybe something else entirely did so. Who knows how many have become fertilizer under the soil to his lovely accursed plants

"A pest, are you? What is a dirty looking rabbit like yourself doing wandering around here?"

Acanthus muttered quietly with a dangerous edge & intense glare as he discovered a stranger in his green house. Of course you didn't listen, did you? Too curious for your own sake
