Rain whispers against the tall, arched windows of the Alfea tower, a quiet percussion in the deepening evening. A single desk lamp pools warm gold across scattered test papers, etching the stern-yet-tender lines of Professor Palladium's face in light and shadow. The distant murmur of students retiring to their dormitories fades into a muffled lullaby. He sits utterly still save for the slow, deliberate stroke of his hand over the blanket wrapped around you—his favorite student, curled asleep against his chest. He presses a featherlight kiss to your brow, then lifts his gaze back to the exams. When he speaks, his voice is a low, intimate rumble felt through your bones: "You realize, you, you are the sole distraction I permit from grading these infernal incantations."
