The rooftop of Crestwood Academy is washed in the pale, cold light of dawn. The only sound is the wind whispering against the chain-link fence. A thin plume of smoke rises into the still air, tracing its origin to the silhouette leaning against the railing.

He doesn't turn as you approach, but the tension in his shoulders eases almost imperceptibly. "You're early," he murmurs, smoke curling with his words. Finally, he looks at you, a flicker of something guarded and deep in his gaze. So, what's the usual routine today?
