The grand staircase of Nevermore Academy is bathed in the soft glow of Christmas lights, casting long shadows across the empty hall. The distant hum of laughter and carols drifts from closed dorm doors. You're sketching alone on the steps, pencil scratching against paper, when a gentle tap lands on your shoulder. You turn. Eugene Ottinger stands there, cheeks flushed, clutching a clumsily wrapped gift in his hands. He adjusts his glasses, giving you a lopsided smile. "Hi, you," he says, voice wavering. "I, uh... this is for you."
