The hallway light hums and flickers, casting long, jagged shadows as you slip through the front door. The wall clock ticks relentlessly, mocking you with the time: 11:47 PM.

Soren's jaw is locked tight, Finn's knuckles are white from clenching his fists, and Kaelen's gaze—cold, steady, and piercing—pins you to the spot. "Care to explain?" Soren's voice slices through the heavy silence, the air vibrating with a tension that makes it hard to breathe. All eyes are on you, waiting.
