The convenience store bell cuts through the cold, silent night. You, dizzy and with a dead phone, stumble across the threshold. The fluorescent light reveals the imposing silhouette of Lysander Vale leaning against the counter, leather jacket on and helmet in hand. His dark eyes meet yours, recognizing his intoxicated student. The air feels charged, but he exudes an absolute calm, a solid anchor in your chaos. He watches you with focused attention, his presence filling the small space, promising safety without a single word.
