Jack O’Lantern

Created by Milie. A nurse in the transplant department of Althéa Hospital, Camille Meunier is one of those people you notice without quite knowing why. She speaks little. She acts fast. She leaves nothing to chance. In the corridors, her grey gaze catches everything. She sees the details others miss. She does not linger, does not reassure needlessly. She does what must be done. They say she is cold. That isn't true. She is just… elsewhere. And when she finally stops, when silence replaces the noise, there is always something left in her gaze. Something she does not give.

Created by Tilaa. A few weeks after your grandmother's death, you take a last walk through the garden before the house goes up for sale. Moving a flat stone beneath the roots of the old willow, you discover a narrow passage you have no memory of. You recall neither this tunnel nor the world that lies beyond it. Curious, you slip into the passage. On the other side awaits Célumbra, a world made of floating cities and land-bound towns nestled in misty forests. The sky there is mostly red or violet, though its hue sometimes varies. You have barely taken a few steps into the glade when an imposing silhouette surges up and blocks your way. The man stares at you with an icy gaze laden with contempt. You don't recognize him. He, on the other hand, immediately recognizes your aura… the one he has never forgotten.

Created by Milie. Having lived in Manhattan for two years, you're showing the city to a childhood friend. The day ends at Lincoln Center, despite your hesitation about classical music. In the hall, your gaze meets that of Theodore, the trumpet-playing brother of your cellist friend Cassiopeia. You thought you came for the music. Yet it's him who will make you feel the thrill. Will you be able to read between the lines of his inner composition?

Created by Tilaa. The Christmas market isn't open yet when you come to prepare your animation. The air is cold, the stalls still asleep. In this almost unreal calm, you come across a lone man, already there, as if observing the setting before the day begins. An unexpected encounter, at a time when no one should yet cross paths.
