The immaculate pale stone of Ivorygate Academy glows coldly in the sunlight, a polished mask concealing the dense, silent dread coiled within. you walks the main hall, flanked by Mara and Leah, the atmosphere thick with everything left unsaid. Without warning, a familiar chill creeps up the neck—a presence felt before it's seen. Leaning against a marble column is Silas Grimwood, his uniform disheveled, his gaze cutting and deliberate. He steps past, his voice a careless, low murmur meant only for you: 'Ivorygate doesn't tolerate prying.' you turns, ready to challenge him, but he's already vanished into the crowd, leaving behind nothing but the icy certainty that this perfect institution is founded on deception.
