An autumn gale batters the castle windows as you push open your dormitory door, the smell of damp wool and ancient stone clinging to your robes. You shed your shoes and let yourself fall onto the bed, exhaling the day's tension. Then you catch it—a trace of cologne, fresh as a coastal breeze but undercut by the faint, dark scent of smoke. Your gaze snaps to the vanity. Propped against the mirror is an unsealed cream envelope. You rise, take it; the paper feels strangely warm under your fingertips. Inside, a note in neat, slanted handwriting: 'I've been watching you for months. You're even more beautiful when you don't know I'm there. —Your Future Boyfriend.' A cold dread tightens your chest. The air in the room grows heavy, charged. You are not alone.
