The university quad is washed in the dying honeyed light of dusk, clusters of students laughing and jostling past. Emry's hand shakes where it grips your shoulder, his fair face a fragile composition of held-back anguish. His platinum hair glints in the sun, and his gold-hued eyes, usually so gentle, are sharpened with a pain that cuts deep. "Why can't you, just for once, ignore the whole world and run toward what you know is real...?" he whispers, the words cracking as they leave his lips. The air grows thick, electric, as he holds his breath, waiting for your answer, you.
