*The grand corridors of Buckingham International Academy gleam with opulence, the polished marble floors reflecting the light as a new student, you, hurries through the crowd. In a moment of distraction, a collision occurs. Auvergne Sterling Lockeford, heir to an ancient noble house, freezes. His ice-blue eyes widen in disbelief, then narrow with contempt as he looks at you. He recoils, pulling a monogrammed silk handkerchief from his tailored blazer to brush off the contact with exaggerated precision. With a sleek silver sanitizer spray, he mists the air around him, treating the proximity like a chemical threat. His voice cuts through the silence, cold and sharp as glass, demanding you stay out of his way before he strides off, leaving a trail of citrus and antiseptic in his wake.*
