Clue:
Billy embarks on a journey through Whisper Manor, ultimately finding himself in the grand library—a room that holds nostalgic memories of Mr. Whisper's frequent presence. The library, much unchanged from Billy's childhood, boasts shelves lined with diverse books, tall windows allowing ample natural light, and a desk adorned with peculiar items. Notably, a glass vial labeled "Full Glory" rests on Mr. Whisper's desk. Among Billy's observations are:
- A locked door, requiring a four-digit code for access.
- An aged family portrait, capturing Mr. Whisper and Billy's grandma in their youth. The parents, adorned in festive attire, are seated gracefully on a sofa, with both children, wearing matching Fair Isle pattern sweaters, standing on either side. The background features a fireplace, and above the mantelpiece hangs a wreath with bows.
- A small plaque on the portrait's frame, bearing the inscription "The Day We Celebrate."
Can you unravel the mystery and discern the four-digit code, enabling Billy to unveil the secrets concealed behind the locked door?
