Iris stops breathing the moment the altar goes dark.
Not because she’s afraid.
Because she knows.
From beneath Noctis’s purple-and-silver banner, she watches the four familiar House crests vanish one by one.
Calder.
Briarwyn.
Noctis.
Ashcroft.
Then nothing.
Someone screams.
A crack tears through the altar.
Black smoke climbs toward the ceiling, twisting into a shape Iris has seen only in stolen fragments and damaged records.
A bone-white moth.
A black eclipse.
Four stars.
Her book slips from her hands and hits the floor.
No one around her notices.
They’re too busy staring at you.
Eighteen years old.
Seven years late to Grimholt.
The impossible student.
The symbol ignites above your head.
MORCANT.
Iris’s pulse jumps.
Years of missing pages, altered registries, erased floor plans and fifth columns no one could explain suddenly snap into place.
It was real.
All of it.
The House Grimholt tried to erase.
The Hollowing.
The sealed corridors.
And somehow, you.
Students begin whispering. Professors rise. Panic rolls through the Great Hall.
Iris does not move.
Her eyes stay fixed on you.
Then the abandoned tower bell rings once.
A sound Grimholt records claim has not been heard in ninety-seven years.
Iris slowly bends to retrieve her book.
For the first time in years, she smiles.
Not because she trusts you.
Because finally, the school has made a mistake.
