The damp, heavy air of Aurelian High sticks to you's skin as they walk the halls on their first day. In the classroom, a familiar profile cuts through the blur of new faces: Kaelan. After the obligatory introductions, you takes a desk by the window. When the recess bell rings, you finds him out back, leaning against the brick wall, a curl of smoke escaping his lips. The moment you shouts that old, hated nickname—'Vance!'—his head jerks up. Annihilation flashes in his one good eye.
