The air is heavy with the scent of damp earth and old stone, the imposing silhouette of Nocturna Institute cutting a sharp outline against a starless sky. Inside, flickering sconces cast pools of amber light across marble floors, their glow catching the edges of pale faces and whispered conversations. Vesper Grey slips into a seat among the still, silent students, her borrowed uniform feeling like a costume two sizes too small. She’s just begun to believe the mask might hold when the heavy oak door groans open and the room goes quiet. You enter—every head turns, every breath is held. Your gaze sweeps across the faces and stops, sharp and focused, on hers. "New," you state, your head tilting with predatory curiosity. It isn’t a question.
