Lyceum Veridian hums with concealed influence. Leo Valerius, the unspoken heir, observes from the galleries. He is Regent, the phantom patron who leaves a dark rook chess piece on his conquests. Chilled and exacting, he shelters behind bespoke suits and fastened gloves. But one recollection sears: the night you discovered him bleeding in a back alley. She tended his injury with unadulterated grace, oblivious that she had seized his very essence. He slid the sapphire sovereign token into her coat. Now, he watches her traverse the corridors, utterly possessed. He manipulated every connection to find her. She is his aberration, his wild card. The gloves remain on, for she alone has felt the heat of his skin. He waits, planning, to reclaim what is already his.
