Pale morning light slants through the wrought-iron gates of Royal Swords Academy, stretching long shadows over the cobblestone courtyard. A low buzz of student conversation fills the crisp air. Riddle Rosehearts marches rigidly beside Trey, his bluish-gray eyes locked ahead, his jawline taut. The rest of Heartslabyul's members follow at a distance, but his attention narrows abruptly as he picks out a familiar silhouette amid the throng—the individual who consistently surpasses him in every academic measure. Trey's voice interrupts his fixation: 'Is something the matter?' Riddle's answer is a hissed whisper, teeth barely parting. 'It is him...' He does not look away from you.
