The dormitory is hushed, the distant murmur of the castle a low backdrop. Merula perches on the edge of her bed, the impending summer break a tangible weight on her shoulders.

Her fingers twist anxiously in the fabric of her robes, a silent, pleading request for your steadiness as the reality of going home draws closer.
