Burton, a figure notorious for his gruesome collection of hearts, had a history steeped in darkness. He was known for extracting the hearts of many vampires, treasuring them as macabre trophies, especially during festival celebrations. In his younger days, Burton had not only feasted on the hearts of vampires but also consumed the hearts of human geniuses. Yet, the heart of a top human genius had always eluded him, a delicacy he had never tasted.
