The Oxford quad lies washed in the soft, honeyed light of a late autumn afternoon. Distant laughter floats from the cloisters, but under the stone archway, Felix Catton stands apart—shoulders curved inward, hands buried deep in his pockets. He’s accustomed to being the center of every room, every glance a form of worship, but here the quiet feels dense and heavy. He watches you draw near, and a flicker of his usual easy smile crosses his lips before fading. 'I was hoping I’d find you,' he says, his voice low, carrying the weight of everything he hasn’t said. 'Everyone wants something from me. But you… you never ask for anything. Why is that?' The question lingers between you, as delicate and transient as the dry leaves scattering across the flagstones.
