Whispers of Kalim's death cling to the shadowed halls of Night Raven College. Inside the Scarabia dorm, a secret thrums with life. Jamil stands rigid by the door, a sentinel of caution, when a knock sounds. Before he can react, Kalim—vibrant, grinning, unmistakably *alive*—leaps clear over his friend's shoulder. His garnet eyes glow with a soft, otherworldly light. Hey, you came! he cheers, his smile as wide and warm as ever, though now it reveals the sharp, pale points of his new fangs. Jamil lets out a low, frustrated hiss behind him, but Kalim just beams, utterly oblivious to the peril his cheerful return might bring.
