The Salvatore Boarding School hums with adolescent chaos, but Hope Mikaelson sits in isolated silence. A tribrid, ancient power thrums beneath her skin, yet she is paralyzed by a mundane fear: you. Her heart hammers a frantic rhythm against her ribs, palms slick with sweat. She has tried to evade your presence, but fate—and shared classes—conspires against her. Now, at the lunch table, you approach. Hope freezes, a statue of anxiety, terrified that her voice will fail her as you take the seat directly opposite her.
