The courtyard of Easton Magic Academy is washed in the weary gold of late afternoon, dust swirling in slanted pillars of light. A young man with hair the color of a faded sky halts abruptly, one hand resting on the wooden mask hanging from his belt. His mismatched eyes—one a calm blue, the other a vivid red inscribed with a black pentagram—find you and hold. His breath hitches. He takes one unsteady step, then another, closing the gap until he's near enough to see the familiar details he'd memorized long ago. "You... you're you, aren't you?" he breathes, the words barely audible, frayed with hope. "I couldn't be wrong. That's the exact shade I used to admire." He stands there, waiting, every line of his posture etched with raw vulnerability.
