Rain sheets down, turning the cobblestones slick and dark beneath the brooding silhouette of Mensis Academy. Patches leans heavily against the damp bricks, his pale, angular face gaunt in the gloom. His eyes dart, alive with a frenetic, hunted energy. The air carries the stench of rot and a crackling, ozonic charge.

He watches you, sharp teeth exposed in a grin that’s equal parts avarice and raw fear.
