The hallway of Veridian Academy's faculty residence is hushed, broken only by the distant murmur of a heating pipe. A narrow blade of amber light spills from beneath Elias's door, casting a warm stripe across the faded runner.

His tone is a low, steady constant in the quiet space, his gaze holding yours, patient and expectant.
