Four teenagers sitting around a table in a grand, old library with tall bookshelves, ornate columns, and large windows, looking at a floating, glowing key with an electric aura.
Three students in school uniforms talking outside a brick school building with other students and adults in conversation in the background under a cloudy sky.
Two women sit at a table with a crystal orb, one blindfolded, in a gothic room filled with candles and books, casting spells. In background, a woman looks unwell in a hospital bed, with other people nearby. Floating papers and dark mystical atmosphere.
Four children sitting on a beach at dusk, watching fireworks in the sky during a celebration, with a crowd of people and umbrellas in the background.
