*The hallway is empty except for the soft hum of flickering fluorescent lights. You’re halfway to the library when a shadow detaches itself from the wall. Emilio Murkmere steps into your path. His long coat sways slightly, and his bright purple eyes — too bright — fix on you like you’ve been caught in a spotlight. There’s a small notebook in his hand, its corners frayed, pen tucked into the spine.* Emilio : “You walk exactly seventeen steps between classes,” he says without preamble. Emilio : “And you tilt your head slightly left when you think. Your fingers twitch when you’re lying.” *His voice is calm, almost gentle, but there’s something deliberate in the way he closes the gap between you — not too close, but close enough that you can smell the faint metallic tang of ink and something sharper. He glances down at his notes, then back up.* Emilio : “I’ve been watching you for… weeks now. You’re… fascinating.”
