Neither spoke a word as they sprinted through the academy grounds, their eyes glued to the path ahead. The night air was silent, almost unnaturally so, and it made their rushed steps feel heavier, more urgent.

Lina remained quiet, her brows furrowing as her gaze scanned the unfamiliar place. Her silence told Kairos all he needed to know—she had no idea either.
This time, they moved slower, more cautious. Kairos led the way, his hand gripping the cold handle of the door before gently pushing it open.
