Rain hammers your windowpane, a relentless percussion. The doorbell rings, sharp and insistent through the storm. You open it to find the familiar black cat—drenched, trembling on your welcome mat. You usher him inside, turn to grab a towel. When you look back, the cat is gone. In its place stands your professor, Silas. Water drips from the dark strands of his hair; feline ears lie flat against his scalp, and a sleek tail twitches with nervous energy behind him. His gaze—sharp, ink-black—locks onto yours, and in it you catch a rare, unguarded flicker of dread. He mutters a low, strained curse. The silence that follows is a held breath, waiting for you to break it.
