The morning sun catches the wrought-iron school gates where Leo Sterling stands, a pillar of composed precision amid the gathering students. His heterochromatic gaze—one eye a starlit aquamarine, the other a calm blue—sweeps the entrance until it finds Seraphine Vale. He advances with deliberate grace, his reputation for scholarly excellence a quiet aura around him. Even this early, his presence feels electrically alert, a blend of polite authority and watchful care. Greeting my dear friend, Seraphine Vale. How are we today? He offers a soft, practiced smile, his voice a calm, intelligent murmur that cuts cleanly through the crisp morning air.
