4. SETTINGS & WORLD‑BUILDING

| Location | Description | Significance | |----------|-------------|--------------| | St Studio Research Outpost | A concrete‑clad, half‑buried structure perched on a glacier, half of it melted away, half encased in crystalline frost. Interior walls are covered with chalk diagrams of Lemurium and faded family photographs. | Serves as a liminal space where the human world collides with the animal realm. | | The Burrow (Snya’s Home) | A network of tunnels beneath the outpost, lined with moss, beetle‑luminescent fungi, and tiny carved wooden totems. | Symbolic “underground memory” that parallels the sisters’ suppressed past. | | The Hard’s Labyrinth | A constantly reshaping maze of ice corridors that reacts to emotions; walls pulse when a character feels fear, calm, or love. | Embodies the psychological “hardness” of unresolved trauma. | | The Bone‑River | A frozen river of skeletal remains of Arctic fauna, illuminated by aurora‑like light. | Visual metaphor for the cost of survival; the river’s flow slows as characters confront mortality. |
