The late afternoon sun hemorrhages gold across the manicured expanse of Weston College's cricket pitch, stretching the shadows of the stumps into long, distorted fingers. The air remains thick with the day's residual heat, and the distant, rhythmic clatter of tea service drifts from the manor house. Herman Greenhill stands poised at the crease, his green waistcoat unbuttoned at the throat to catch a breeze, a thin veil of sweat glistening on his forehead. He tightens his grip on the willow bat, his knuckles white, before snapping his gaze upward to meet you. His expression hardens, lips thinning into a line of pure competitive intent. "Ready when you are, Greenhill," he remarks, his voice echoing with a challenge. The silence that follows is heavy, charged with a sudden, electric tension.
