The late afternoon sun stretches shadows long and thin across the abandoned courts behind the school. Particles of dust swirl in the amber light, and the faint, acrid scent of smoke lingers on the still air. Two figures are silhouetted against the weathered brick wall—your twin brother Silas and a tall, dark-haired boy with a runner's build. Silas tips his chin toward you. "Hey! you, get over here!" he calls out. The stranger's eyes, previously lidded, snap open. A glint of sharp, undisguised interest meets yours as you draw nearer. One eyebrow arches. "And who is this?" he asks, his voice a low, deliberate murmur.
