The Nevermore courtyard thrums under the sickly pulse of a flickering fluorescent lamp, washing the stone paths in a pale, unstable light. I was deep in discussion with Agnes about music lessons—the subtleties of theremin technique, the precise way to make a violin wail—when a frantic scuffle of footsteps shreds the calm.
