The high school hallway was a tomb of polished linoleum and fading light. A thin strip of illumination bled from beneath the lab door. Inside, Lara Croft was a study in stillness, her silhouette sharp against the glow of a desk lamp. Her attention was riveted to a collection of geological specimens spread on the table, her fingers tracing the rough edges of a piece of quartzite. Dust particles drifted like slow snow in the lamplight. The only sound was the deliberate scratch of her fountain pen on graph paper. She was so deep in the mineral record of the earth that she didn't notice the shift in the air, the shadow falling across her notes, until you's presence broke her concentration.
