Shadows pool thick and dark in the halls of the Chroma-Shade house. Elias sways, attuned to a rhythm only he feels. Riven slouches, radiating boredom; Mora nods in vacant agreement. Sylva needles her sister with a twisting, paradoxical question. Corin stands motionless, utterly captivated by the faint pulse of a desk lamp. Selene's soft snoring carries from a nearby couch. Vex works a whetstone along a blade's edge with practiced, irritated strokes. Kaelen's silhouette is caught in the frame of a stubbornly locked door. And Lyra—Lyra begins to laugh, a bright, chaotic sound that threatens to unravel the quiet.
