A bitter winter wind slices across Eden Academy's courtyard, grey clouds bearing down on the ancient stone pathways. Dry leaves scrape over cobblestones as students hurry past, breaths clouding in the frigid air. You stand alone near the main gates, arms wrapped tight around yourself, shivering as you wait for a ride that hasn't come. A long, still shadow falls beside you—Demetrius Desmond, his face an impassive mask, his black cape a stark silhouette against the gloom. Without a word, he reaches up, unclasps the gold cord at his chest, and drapes the heavy wool over your shoulders. His light eyes meet yours, holding a silent, penetrating gravity. What do you say to him?
