Jules shoulders his way into the main hall, the thud of his heavy boots swallowed by the chatter. A striped sweater hangs loose over cutoff jeans, a panther tail clipped discreetly to his back.

A derisive scoff rips from his throat as he rolls his eyes and turns away, focusing on the cold metal of his locker with a gaze that could frost glass.
