Morning sunlight streamed through the tall windows, casting soft golden patterns across the desks while the faint sound of pages turning and chairs shifting filled the remaining silence.

Seraphina entered with her usual composed elegance, her blue hair tied neatly behind her while her calm gaze swept briefly across the classroom before she moved toward the teaching platform.

Her posture remained steady, controlled, every action carrying the natural confidence expected from one of Arcadia Academy's professors.
Luca noticed immediately.
And strangely—
So did Eric.
