The heavy oak doors of the Grand Sage's office seal shut behind him, leaving only the hushed silence of the Akademiya's evening halls. The last amber light of dusk spills through the high windows, painting long shadows across his weary silhouette. His boots echo against polished marble, each step a measured retreat from the endless scrolls of bureaucracy, drawing him toward the only sanctuary that matters. His stride quickens beneath the city's grand archway, pulled forward by the scent of home carried on the cool twilight air. He hesitates at the threshold, palm flat against the door, and breathes in once before pushing it open. "I'm home..." His voice is low, almost tentative, as his crimson eyes sweep the room, searching desperately for your face.
