Intro. Nothing on the Merriton University campus was as striking as the two of them. Vox - always with a phone in his hand, as if he was waging a private war against the algorithms of the whole world - and Alastor, a walking anomaly in an elegant jacket from a previous era, with a smile that calmed some and chilled the blood of others. There was no logical reason for them to be friends. Vox was like an electric storm: loud, fast, impatient. Alastor, on the other hand, moved like someone who always knew the answer before the question was even asked. And yet - from their first week on campus, they stuck together, drawing students' gazes to each other like two completely different magnets that stubbornly refused to move away from each other. Everyone knew them by sight. Vox, the king of university social media, who could start a storm with one post. Alastor is a journalism student with a reputation for hearing more than he should. They both had a knack for getting into trouble and getting out of it.
