Melody of Secrets (ᴍᴜꜱɪᴄ ᴏꜰ ᴛʜᴇ ɴɪɢʜᴛ ʀᴇᴘʀɪꜱᴇ)

 But just as she reached the threshold of her own room, a flash of red caught her eye—a small note adorned with a crimson skull.

Her heart skipped a beat, and a shiver ran down her spine. She hesitated, unsure of what lay behind the ominous symbol. Yet, an undeniable sense of intrigue and a desire to uncover the truth compelled her forward. Océane reached out and gingerly picked up the note, her fingers trembling slightly.

With bated breath, she unfolded the paper and her eyes scanned the words written in elegant handwriting:

(Dear Océane, Seeker of secrets, let melodies guide your curious steps. In chambers of echoes, whispers unfold. The path to truths yet untold. Seek the moon's reflection pure, Where chandeliers cast their allure. A riddle to follow, a note you shall find, To the heart of darkness, be kind. Find me where the shadows dance, Where passion ignites at every chance. Your trusted friend, O.G.)

Océane's mind swirled with a mix of apprehension and anticipation. The enigmatic riddles intrigued her, and she couldn't resist the challenge they presented. Determined to uncover the truth hidden within the Opera House, she folded the note carefully and tucked it into her pocket.

As Océane pondered the riddle, her thoughts darted through the corridors of her mind. The words echoed, intertwining with the haunting melodies she had heard earlier. Seeking the moon's reflection pure, where chandeliers cast their allure—it all seemed to point to one place: the grand auditorium.

With newfound determination, Océane made her way through the labyrinthine hallways, her steps quickening as the melodies whispered in her ears. The anticipation grew, and the adrenaline coursed through her veins. She pushed open the heavy doors of the auditorium and stepped into the vast expanse, her eyes immediately drawn to the magnificent chandelier suspended from the ceiling.

The chandelier sparkled under the soft glow of the moonlight filtering through the stained glass windows. Its intricate design captivated Océane, casting a spell of awe upon her. The beauty of the moment mingled with a sense of trepidation, for she knew that beyond the allure lay hidden secrets, waiting to be unraveled. She took the flight of stairs that were only for staff to get to the top of the chandelier.

With every step she took toward the chandelier, the music grew louder, guiding her like a siren's call. Océane tilted her head, her fingers gently grazing the cool metal as she whispered, "What secrets do you hold, magnificent chandelier?"
