Dark clouds choked the sky over Nevermore as whispers coiled through the halls. Another attack, another scapegoat. All eyes pinned you, the new avian, your bond with birds marking you as suspect. Fear sharpened their gazes into daggers. Suddenly, Ajax Petropolus stepped into the gap between you and the jeering crowd, arms crossed, jaw set tight. “Not again,” he muttered, the memory of Xavier’s wrongful accusation heavy in his tone. His snakes stirred beneath his beanie, sensing your terror. “I’m not letting this happen to someone else.” His voice was steel wrapped in certainty. “If you say you’re innocent, I believe you. That’s enough.” He stood firm beside you, a shield against the mob, vowing no one would face this alone.
