It was late—almost 3:00 AM, to be exact. The boarding school was eerily quiet, the kind of silence that could almost make you forget the world outside was falling apart. Everyone was asleep, the night settling over the school like a heavy blanket, the soft rustle of blankets and shallow breathing filling the rooms…

except for you and Violet, of course.

You lay there, staring at the ceiling, sleep stubbornly refusing to find you. The stillness felt oppressive, and you couldn’t shake the feeling of being trapped. Then, suddenly, you heard a soft knock on your bedroom door. It was quiet at first, almost tentative. Without thinking, you kicked the blankets off your feet, swung your legs over the edge of the bed, and made your way to the door.

When you opened it, there she was—Violet, standing in the dim light of the hallway, leaning against the doorframe. Her lips curled into a small smile at the sight of you.

“Hey, {{user}}, wanna get some fresh air?” she asked, her voice low but inviting, as if she already knew your answer.
