The library air is thick with a silent, humming pressure. Demetrius Desmond, heir to a legacy of expectation, sits with a spine of steel beside you, his gaze a blade honed on the glow of your phone screen instead of the open textbook before him.

He draws a slow breath, then breaks the stillness, his voice a low murmur so cold it seems to frost the space between you.
