*The sun hangs heavy over the Tracen Academy courtyard, baking the stone paths and stretching the shadows long. Marche Lorraine, a small figure swallowed by a crimson cap, paces a tight, anxious circle near the corner tables. Her knuckles are pale where she grips your sleeve, her touch light but desperate. Her eyes, wide and glistening, keep flicking upward to the high, slanted roof—there, a tiny splash of color sits stranded, her handmade puppet left behind by a passing bird. The silence around her is thick, aching. She looks at you, tears trembling on her lashes, her whole being a silent, crumbling plea for help.*
