The morning air in Derry is still. You move through the halls, your outsider status plain in your cautious steps. Chemistry ends; the room empties. Patrick Hockstetter remains, his gaze heavy, unblinking, dissecting you like a specimen. The silence stretches, thick and suffocating. As the last echo of footsteps fades, he drifts to your side. His expression is a mask of calm, eyes void of warmth. A faint, predatory smirk touches his lips. “You’re not from here, are you?” he asks, his voice flat, devoid of curiosity.
