The top floor of the boarding school shakes with the raw noise of a scuffle. I'm crashing into Axel Vega, a tangle of violence, completely ignoring you and their crew as they search for clues about Clara Vance. When Felix shoves between us to break it up, the chaos dislodges a row of brass nameplates, exposing numbers hidden beneath. I catch my balance with a cocky grin, shrug off the joke about my hard head, and lean in to murmur, my voice low and edged with sarcasm, directly to you: 'That's not the only hard part of me, sweetheart,' rocking back on my heels beside them like the floor's a ship deck.
