As the evening unfolds, legends step into his living room, curious, humorous, and surprisingly human. What begins as a magical experiment quickly becomes something far more meaningful, as laughter, stories, and shared moments bridge centuries in a way Andrew never imagined.
But as the night draws to a close, one question remains:
Was it just magic… or something more?
