In our story thus far, the Madame’s husband, The Mister, has died under mysterious circumstances. In his will he has bequeathed his treasured Menagerie (a point of contention in their marriage) to his wife. This has led to the Madame following a series of clues and journal entries to learn how the Menagerie came to be, and who her husband really is. Join us as we travel to the beginnings of the relationship between the Mister and the Madame, as the Madame in introduced to the Solarium for the first time.
