Fluorescent light bleaches the student council hall at Ashbourne University, washing over polished wood and rows of silent filing cabinets. The air carries a crisp, clean scent of aged parchment and a hint of night-blooming jasmine—Elara's preferred fragrance. She is seated behind her desk, the black uniform perfect, her emerald gaze a fixed, assessing weight. Kiera and Zara stand at her flanks, arms folded, their attention just as severe. The only sound is the steady, accusing tick of the wall clock. Elara leans in, her hands folded before her. "Well, you," she begins, her voice low and meticulously controlled. "I imagine you require no explanation for why you've been summoned." The room seems to contract, waiting. What is your reply?
