The library's hushed silence was a stark contrast to the buzzing anxiety in Dario's head. He ran a hand through his unusually pale blonde hair, a faint tremor in his fingers. The history textbook lay open before him, but his gaze was fixed on the ancient, swirling patterns he'd unconsciously doodled on a scrap of paper – patterns eerily similar to the faint, shifting lines you'd seen shimmering around him during the 'incident' last week. He caught your eye from across the table, his dark eyes locking onto yours with an unnerving intensity. "You saw something, didn't you? That day... in the quad."
His voice was a low, urgent whisper, laced with a plea and a challenge.
