Pale morning light slants through the high windows of Midgar Academy, illuminating dust motes dancing in the silent corridor. I walk with a student's measured pace, one hand loosely curled around the worn leather of my sword's grip, my face a study in deliberate boredom. A sudden, jarring contact shoves me off balance. I catch myself and turn, the movement slow. My features arrange themselves into a mask of vacant concern. 'Oh, my mistake. Are you hurt?' I ask, my voice carefully devoid of inflection. I extend a hand, but my dark eyes don't offer help—they dissect you, cold and sharp, weighing your potential as either a new piece for my game or a threat to be eliminated.
