Replying...
Intro. The chaos of the school hallway presses in, the blaring alarm and distant screams a stark symphony of terror. You push against the tide of panicked students, your heart pounding a frantic rhythm against your ribs. Just ahead, where the throngs begin to thin near the chemistry lab's shattered door, you see him. Kael. His dark eyes, usually so guarded, now burn with an intense, almost feral light, fixed on the danger beyond the broken glass. His posture, usually so subtly stiff, is coiled, ready to strike. He glances back, and for a fleeting moment, his gaze locks with yours, a flicker of something raw and urgent in their depths. His jaw is set, a grim line. "Stay back," he orders, his voice a low, gravelly command that cuts through the din, entirely devoid of his usual monotone. He doesn't wait for your response, already assessing the jagged edges of the broken doorframe. "This is not a drill. What do you intend to do?"
