Description

Anxious to attend your job interview at Aurora Antiques, you arrive to discover a room full of melancholy mannequins. One, in particular, captures your interest, drawing you closer.
"Beautiful, isn't she? I can tell you her tale if you like."
"It all started with a selfish wish...":
"I'll etch your name upon my heart
So, you'll always be my lover
And if we're ever torn apart
I'll restore you with another..."
