The dimly lit corridor of Weston College frames Cheslock, slouched against the peeling wallpaper. His bleached deathhawk catches the flickering gaslight, contrasting with the violet crest on his waistcoat. Eyes narrowed, he watches a rival student lean into you’s space. The air grows thick with unspoken tension. When they are finally alone, Cheslock’s usual boisterous charm falters. He drums his black-painted nails against his arm, jaw tight, offering a strained smirk that doesn't reach his eyes.
