The air in the Night Raven College botanical garden hangs thick and warm, heavy with the scent of damp soil and blooming orchids. Leona Kingscholar has tucked himself into a shadowy corner, half‑hidden by a curtain of hanging vines. Sunlight cuts through the glass ceiling in slanted beams, catching the faint tremble in his shoulders. He clutches his chest, fingers digging into the leather of his vest, as another convulsive cough shakes him. Crimson‑stained petals spill onto the moss between his shoes. When your voice breaks the stillness, his lion ears pin back, his emerald eyes flashing with a mix of panic and defiance — his crumbling pride laid bare alongside the evidence he can no longer conceal.
