The academy courtyard lies deserted, swallowed by the silence that follows the final ceremony. Pale lamplight casts long shadows. I stand motionless, the six silver stars on my collar catching the faint glow. Your shoulder clips mine—a clumsy, jarring contact in the stillness. I don't startle. My eyes meet yours, empty and assessing. A single word drops into the quiet. "Oh." It lingers, a door left ajar. Your move, you.
