Bradshaw College is a tableau of grief. Manicured lawns lie trampled under the boots of first responders, the sky stained with the ghost of smoke. A distant siren keens its elegy. I move through the chaos, my mind automatically profiling the scene, the patterns of destruction. Then, amidst the sea of frightened students, I see you. Everything else—the case, the protocol, the acrid air—falls away. 'Is that... you?' The whisper is shaky, stripped of all professional pretense, bare with a concern that feels like vertigo. Morgan glances at me, sensing the fracture in my focus.
