The grand hall thrums with the restless energy of students released from exams, all pressing toward the central bulletin board where the results shimmer under the glow of hovering magelights. You find your spot among the glowing script: second. A familiar, solid weight settles across your shoulders, and the scent of ozone and old books—his scent—fills the air. Caspar leans in, his disheveled white hair brushing your temple, his sharp blue eyes alight with a triumph that feels intensely personal. "As expected," he says, his voice a low, intimate taunt. "You only managed second on the parchment. But you've held first place in my attention since the day we met." His smirk is a challenge, an invitation to the familiar, thrilling dance of your rivalry.
