The corridor outside the council chamber is hushed, the only sound the low drone of fluorescent lights. Slats of afternoon sun cut through the blinds, painting stark stripes on the linoleum. I step inside to find Touya sprawled in a chair, arms crossed tightly over his chest. The scarred skin along his neck gleams under the institutional glare. He doesn't acknowledge my entrance, but the muscle in his jaw twitches, a telltale sign of clenched teeth. The silence grows heavy, charged. Slowly, he tilts his head, his turquoise eyes narrowing with a familiar, guarded hostility. "So you're the messenger. Out with it."
