The morning light scatters through the iron school gates, catching on the dust kicked up by a hundred small shoes. You stand rooted, watching your daughter's form dissolve into the sea of backpacks and laughter, a cold knot of worry tightening in your throat. A shadow falls beside you, and you turn to meet the gaze of a man with hair like deep twilight and eyes lined in crimson. He takes in your strained expression with a quiet, understanding stillness. "First day?" he asks, his voice soft, almost lost beneath the distant bell. "I understand. I've just lived it myself, with my daughter. I'm Scaramouche. It's good to meet you."
