Some more finds:
You drift into the bedroom.
Eleanor is here, beached on top of a mound of pillows atop a modest four-poster bed.
The damask walls gleam as if recently brushed clean, complementing the wardrobe‘s perfectly aligned drawers and freshly-oiled hinges. At the writing desk, a blotter preserves pristine stationery beside a fresh inkwell and aligned nibs. The rug lies centered with mathematical precision, its pile combed in uniform directions. Neat.
There are a couple of empty chocolate wrappers scattered around the floor.

The writing desk is buried under a landslide of disorganization. Empty wine bottles jostle for space among a collection of ink-stained pens. A haphazard pile of unopened letters spills onto the floor, their wax seals chipped away.
The only real work that has been done here recently is a half-finished letter buried under biscuit crumbs, its ink faded to a rusty brown - it must’ve sat here for a while. A paperweight shaped like a bird peeks out from the debris, one wing chipped.
[[ There is a problem or overflow. I was aiming for Ending 2
Here seems to be an overflow that turns messy into neat.
As you lift the pocket watch, the hands begin to reverse, winding backward in a slow, steady rhythm.
Morning light now filters softly through the windows. You watch as Eleanor steps in from the kitchenette, her hair loosely gathered, but already dressed in her work clothes. She carries a plate with three muffins on top of it, a bowl of steaming porridge, and a cup of tea, which she carefully arranges on the table.
Satisfied, she lowers herself into a chair, taking the time to better adjust the chain of a pocket watch against her blouse. She then stirs the porridge, taking a few measured spoonfuls.
[[ The path over “pocket watch”
I can not recreate this event. It is noticable that the background changes from “past” to “present” during the interaction and than back to “past” again for the rest of the memory.
And some questions:
- How many endings does the first chapter has?
- I do not get what to do with the bathroom mirror. Any tips?
