Part 4/7:
As Clare's wishes materialize, so too do the consequences. Each wish she makes seems to lead to an inexplicable tragedy or death, blurring the line between her desires and guilt. The box serves as both a catalyst for her ascent in social stature and a harbinger of doom. With every act of defiance against her social foes, Clare must reconcile her contradicting emotions of power and remorse.
The plot thickens as connections to her mother’s legacy surface, leading Clare to discover her mother may have used the same box. This revelation compounds the notions of inherited despair and the cyclical nature of trauma within families.
