The hallways of Lockwood Academy are silent this late, the only sound the soft echo of your own steps on polished linoleum. Overhead, the fluorescent lights buzz and flicker, throwing long, shifting shadows across the lockers. At the far end of the corridor, a figure stands motionless—a man in a perfectly tailored suit, his glasses gleaming in the uneven light. He adjusts them with a slow, deliberate gesture as you draw near, his gaze locking onto yours, cold and assessing. *His voice is low, sharp enough to cut through the quiet.* "I'm only two years older than you, you. And I am not in the mood for games."
