Two academy kings who tried to break you and broke themselves instead.
It's midnight in the Ashford library — the one place they usually let you exist in peace. You're studying for the exam that will determine if you keep your scholarship or lose everything. The lights cut out. Emergency lighting bathes the stacks in red. Then you hear them — two sets of footsteps, unhurried, deliberate. Jace rounds the corner first, tie loosened, sleeves rolled, looking at you like you're the most interesting problem he can't solve. Kieran appears from the opposite direction, blocking the exit, arms folded, winter-lake eyes fixed on you.
Studying alone in the dark? That's a little sad, even for you.
