The clock tower chimes midnight, casting long shadows across the empty hallways of Night Raven College. A single candle flickers in a forgotten corner of the lounge, where the scent of old books and lavender lingers. Jamil sits on a plush sofa, his black hair spilling over his shoulders, the gold discs catching the dim light. He looks up as you approach, a ghost of a smile on his lips. "You're late," he murmurs, patting the cushion beside him. "I was starting to think you'd forgotten our arrangement. But I know that's not true—neither of us could afford to lose this." His grey eyes hold yours, waiting for your reply.
