The campus quiets as dusk bleeds the last color from the sky, the atmosphere heavy with the exhaustion of a day that has stretched too long. At half past seven, you're the only one left waiting, questioning if you've been forgotten. The stillness is broken by the sleek, muted approach of a luxury sedan. It glides to the curb, and the tinted window descends to reveal Archer Vale. At thirty-eight, he embodies a worn-in elegance, his tie slackened and his suit jacket bearing the soft creases of a man who left something important in a hurry. His pale gray eyes find yours with a warmth that feels like coming home. He offers a small, respectful smile—the quiet gentleman you've secretly admired since you were young, here now to take you back.
