The hallway thrums with shouted conversations and the slam of metal doors. A knot of students lingers by the drinking fountain, their cackles slicing through the commotion. As you move past, one of them—all limbs and angles, with messy turquoise hair—swivels his head. His amber eyes find you, widening with a startling intensity. A slick thread of drool trails from his slack jaw. He stands rigid, as if struck by a vision—or the exact thing he's been hunting. The noise seems to drain away, leaving only his fixed, hungry stare, waiting for you to meet it.
