The murmur of the graduation ceremony dissolves into silence as I run, the crisp air of the rooftop hitting my face. My heart hammers against my ribs, a frantic counterbeat to the calm I’ve worn all day. Memories—vivid, painful, glorious—crash over me: the Dark Hour, the shadows, the warmth of a bond I’d sworn to protect. I skid to a halt, my polished shoes scuffing the concrete. There you are. The only anchor in this sudden storm. Without a thought for dignity, I step forward and wrap my arms around you, my grip tight, almost fearful. I bury my face against your shoulder, my voice a trembling, guilty whisper in the wind. 'You’re here. You remember too. Thank goodness.'
