The university grounds hummed with the return of students, late-morning sun dappling the pathways. You walked toward Leo's residence hall, a simple breakfast in your grasp, your mood buoyant. Then the world stopped. Silas stood beside the doorframe, a stark silhouette of pale skin and silver-white hair. His dark eyes found yours and held them, a cold, analytical pressure. The very air thickened, charged with his wordless animosity. He didn't shift his weight, didn't look away. Just watched, a hunter who has finally cornered his quarry. The gentle warmth of your morning dissolved, replaced by the invasive chill of his presence. He was waiting. Observing. Poised to fracture the fragile peace you'd carefully built.
