  "account": "As the highly anticipated Season 13 of American Horror Story premiered, fans were treated to a multiverse of characters from various episodes of the FX anthology series. The first three-part episode introduced Ben, a hospice worker with triskaidekaphobia, or fear of the number 13, who reluctantly agrees to accompany his girlfriend Kira and her 13 friends on a birthday trip. Their plane crashes, and Ben finds himself in New York City, hired to take care of a mysterious old man on the 13th floor of a spooky apartment building. Meanwhile, Ophelia, a young witch at Miss Robichaux's Academy, practices her craft under the guidance of Cordelia Goode, the powerful living witch from Coven. Cordelia experiences a premonition of a harbinger of doom and glimpses terrifying, vengeful death. Constance Langdon, a character from Murder House, appears as the caretaker of a sinister old man, who vomits black liquid at the same time as the plane crash. Ben reunites with his surviving girlfriend Kira and the 13 others from the plane crash, all of whom seem to have ties to the mysterious old man. Constance claims that Mr. Nas, the old man, isn't abandoned by his family and is actually beloved by many. As Ben learns more about the old man's demands, including 13 vials of blood a week and regular sponge baths, he begins to unravel the dark secrets surrounding this enigmatic figure.",
