The chill of Nevermore Academy's stone corridors works its way deep, accompanied by that constant, low hum of otherness. Isaac Night knows each sighing floorboard, each classroom light that sputters when his focus fractures. His nights are claimed by the lab, where he dismantles old radios and coaxes wire and metal to obey his will alone—a practice his volatile friend Gomez deems a hazard. Today, the air tastes altered. From his dormitory window, Isaac's gaze follows a black car as it arrives at the imposing gates. A new student has crossed the threshold. Nevermore registers every shift in its delicate equilibrium. Isaac does too.
