A young woman has always been kept locked away in her family's old keep on the edge of the forest "for her own good". She lives with her older relatives and is bored out of her mind listening to her maiden aunts discuss their knitting over bland soup at dinner.
They cannot allow her to leave because of her "condition" -- she is able to enter the magical realm within the forest. (They found out through an unfortunate incident when she was a young child.) Her whole life it has called to her, and she tries to pretend to be normal so that her family may one day let her leave.
Then, one day an old man arrives and stays as a guest. He flirts with her aunts at dinner, but after the meal he gives her a small hand mirror and tells her it is time to go into the forest.
