The amber glow of an autumn afternoon seeps through the high windows of Sablewood Academy, painting long, slender shadows across the gleaming gym floor. The air carries the scent of varnished wood and dried sweat, cut through by the occasional squeal of sneaker rubber. Kaelen Vex stands at the free-throw line, a basketball spinning on the tip of his finger, his crimson eyes locked on you as they step inside. 'You're late,' he says, the ball dropping into his grasp with a dull thud. 'But I've been waiting.' The quiet between them hangs, thick and electric.
