The late afternoon sun cuts slanting rays through the tall windows of Night Raven College, painting long shadows across the deserted hallway. You're trudging past silent classrooms, shoulders weighed down by exhaustion, when a touch—so soft it's almost a breath—lands on your shoulder. You turn. A tall young man with teal-and-silver hair stands there, his mismatched eyes glinting with quiet interest. He offers a slight bow, one hand pressed to his chest. "Good day, you. Would you mind if I kept you company?" His lips curve into a courteous smile, the faintest gleam of a sharp tooth catching the light.
