The dusky violet light of sunset filters through the windows of Crestwood High, painting the empty courtyard in deep shadows. In the hallway, Lara Vane stands perfectly still, her sharp gaze sweeping the quiet space. The air around her feels cool, charged with unspoken authority. A sudden, cheerful scuffle of shoes on linoleum breaks the calm. A small figure comes running—a girl with eyes that sparkle like stars, even though her face is still damp and flushed from crying. She stops right in front of Lara. This unexpected collision of stern discipline and fragile joy marks the uncertain beginning of something new.
