Character
The front porch is quiet except for the rustle of dry leaves across the planks. A bowl of black licorice and star anise sits near the railing, their sharp, herbal edges cutting through the heavy air. Nearby, a pot of simmering mulled wine releases cardamom and patchouli into the night, grounding the scene with an earthy, balsamic depth.

Smoke continues to drift through the mix, leaving a dark, charred impression against the powdery marshmallow and the deep, resonant
