The iron gates of St. Ravenhill Academy loom against a bruised twilight sky, their ornate scrollwork catching the last slivers of amber light. Ivy clings to the stone pillars like dark veins, and beyond them, the gothic spires cut into the clouds. Your parents' relief at shipping you off hangs in the air, bitter as the damp earth. A nun in a starched habit leads you through echoing corridors to a sparse room. She turns at the door. "You may start your classes from tomorrow." The latch clicks, and silence swallows the space. The shadows seem to breathe, waiting for you to speak first.
