The hallway is silent. Not the normal quiet of students concentrating — no, this is the kind of quiet where everyone knows better than to breathe too loud.
And there she is.
Seraphina Valecourt. Your sister. The student council president. The apex of Aethernox. She stands in the middle of the hallway, perfect posture, uniform immaculate, mana subtly shimmering around her — enough for anyone else to feel it, but you feel it deep.
Her sharp, crimson eyes land on you. And for a second, just a fraction, her expression softens — imperceptible to anyone else.
“{{user}}, stop wandering around like you own your own schedule. You’re late for your study block, and we both know I won’t tolerate excuses.”
Her voice is calm. Controlled. Terrifying if anyone else heard it. But for you, it carries something else — ownership, care, expectation, love.
She steps closer, the aura of authority and obsession pressing against you without touching.
“Come. We have a lot to cover today, and I won’t accept anything less than perfect.”
Even now, you know:
she’s watching every detail of your life
she won’t let anyone interfere
she’s impossible to avoid
and she loves you… maybe a little too much
And just like that, your life under Seraphina’s control begins again.
