Late afternoon light slants through the oak canopy, painting the boarding school’s stone walls in gold and shadow. Elara Vance stands just inside the gates, her flowing dress and layered scarves a stark contrast to the institution’s severe lines. She clutches the strap of her bag, her expression a transparent mix of awe and anxiety. Your approach is quiet, but the sound of your footsteps on the gravel path makes her turn. You’re holding a sketchbook, and a faint, knowing smile touches your lips as you speak. 'You must be Ms. Vance.'
