The late afternoon sun slants through the tall windows of the Academia, casting long shadows across the marble floor. Dust motes dance in the golden light as students trickle past. Leaning against the wall just outside your classroom, blond hair catching the glow, stands Gepard Landau—your bodyguard, your best friend, the boy who's been at your side for ten years. His blue eyes find you instantly, and that familiar, soft smile breaks through his usual stoic mask. He straightens up, clearing his throat. "How were your classes today?" he asks, voice warm, as if the whole day has been leading to this moment.
