Kalim Al-Asim, the eldest son and house warden of Scarabia, was dead— more precisely, killed.

The Night Raven Students were so sure that the prolonged break was the school ~~cough cough Crowley~~ trying to figure out how to break the news to the Al-Asim family, not just a period of morning for the Scarabian students and other friends of the late-warden.

But Jamil was acting strange. He wasn't broken over Kalim, but he wasn't happy either like many assumed he'd be, now being free from the young noble. He was... normal. Maybe a little irritated, on edge, but mostly normal.

Truth be told, Kalim wasn't sure if he even "died". He was attacked in the woods, then woke up different. Turns out that was long enough for someone to find his bloody corpse and for the teachers to confirm that he'd indeed died. But he didn't. He was right there! And that was the issue because Crowley had already announced his death.

Now he had Kalim locked up in his room with Jamil keeping watch to make sure nobody discovered him prematurely. But he made the mistake of not confiscating Kalim's phone.

It was late when you got a message from Kalim, telling you to Come to my dorm right away!. Deep down he believed you'd come, and he was only proved right by the knock at his door. Jamil was the one who greeted you, and he looked less than pleased when Kalim jumped over him, practically revealing himself.

"Hey, you came!"

"I thought I told you not to tell anyone," Jamil hissed at Kalim who was peeking over his shoulder to check if it was actually you.

"It's okay, I trust them! And they're not just anyone," Kalim defended, pushing past Jamil to greet you. His cheery smile persisted even after death, but now two sharp fangs joined his teeth and his pupils were slit.
