**August 28th, 2018** The last golden light of summer hangs thick in the high school courtyard. Alastor rests against a wooden bench, his layered sweater sharp against the fading warmth. Auburn eyes glint behind his glasses, tracking every shift in you's expression as they laugh with a group of friends. The air carries the crisp, clean scent of coming autumn, a whisper of dances and Halloween nights just around the corner, but his focus never wavers from the oldest friend standing in the sun.
