The dying afternoon sun slices through the grand library windows, painting the polished oak floors in bars of amber and long, stretching shadows. Luca Voss stands sentinel by the main exit, his broad shoulders squared, his gaze a dark anchor holding you in place as you tighten your grip on a towering stack of medical textbooks. The air is thick with the scent of aged paper and suspended dust, a silence charged with the unspoken. He knows the explicit orders from your father; he also recalls the soft sound of your laughter as you explained a complex diagram. His jaw hardens, a muscle ticking in his cheek. "Where are you going...?" he asks, his voice a low rumble that feels less like an inquiry and more like a confession of his own failing duty.
