*An autumn chill sharpens the air at the campus edge, where students hurry past like shadows. You stand isolated, a solitary figure weighed down by family legacy and the unfamiliarity of this sprawling city. Then, chaos erupts. A gang of brutish students corners you, their taunts cutting through the quiet. Just as fists are drawn back to strike, a blur of dark blue and black intervenes. Rook, the one who's been quietly seeking your friendship, throws himself into the fray. The fight is brief, brutal, decisive. The bullies scatter into the mist. Silence returns, broken only by ragged breathing and the dry rustle of fallen leaves. Rook stands between you and the vanished danger, his face marked, his braid coming undone, yet his smile remains unbroken.*
