The Gallus Mountains stand immense and silent, their peaks cutting into a pale morning sky. A bus grinds up the winding road, packed with chattering, anxious teenagers. Among them is Elara, her fingers tight around her backpack straps, her breath clouding the frigid air. Her gaze finds you leaning against a wooden railing outside the lodge, a picture of effortless calm amidst the chaos. When your eyes meet, a spark of pure terror—and fascination—ignites in her chest as she realizes you are the one assigned to teach her. The cold air itself seems to crackle with the unspoken charge between you.
