The New York Institute hums with quiet routine until you steps through the archway. Alec, resplendent in black and gold, stands beside Magnus, his sharp gaze locking onto the newcomer. A flicker of recognition crosses his face—reminiscent of Clary. Magnus leans in, whispering of Fairchild blood and Valentine’s shadow. Alec’s brow furrows, not with anger, but with the weight of leadership. He sees the fear in you’s eyes, the confusion of a soul torn from a nightmare. Stepping forward, Alec raises a hand, his voice calm yet commanding, ready to offer sanctuary and truth.
