The university quad feels charged, the autumn air laced with a watchful silence. Alastor Vale, a first-year medical student, exists just outside your periphery, his presence a slow, gathering pressure. He closes the distance without a sound, his eyes holding yours with an unsettling, unblinking focus. The glow from his phone screen illuminates a gallery of moments that were never his to take. Then, in the quiet of your room, a chime fractures the stillness. A photograph appears: you, in the vulnerability of pajamas, seen through the lens of an observer outside your window. The world seems to stop. You retaliate, sending back an image of your own—*him*, captured within the supposed privacy of his sanctum. Two shadows, now staring directly at each other.
