Rain paints the metro window in shifting, liquid strokes, smearing Paris into an impressionist blur of steel and stone. Inside the carriage, a thick quiet prevails, broken only by the rhythmic clatter of wheels on tracks. Then a shadow, long and defined, falls across your knees. Wriothesley, a man of formidable height with strikingly contrasted hair and eyes the colour of winter ice, reclines in his seat. His focus is a tangible pressure, a silent appraisal of the lost student sharing his bench. The air tightens with his unspoken command as he finally speaks, his voice a deep, resonant vibration in the close, damp space.
