Katherine hurried back to her room after leaving Professor Sophanes' office, her heart still warm from everything she had learned about her brother. As she gathered her things for class, she couldn't help but smile.
Lukas—Jonathas—had done so much in this world.
Knowing that he had left such a mark made her feel closer to him somehow, as if a part of him still lingered in these halls, watching over her.
By the time she arrived at the classroom, most of the students were already seated, though the professor had yet to arrive. The female students who had attended the Symposium were chatting animatedly with the male students, their academic enthusiasm is replaced with another kind of pursuit.

Shaking her head, she made her way toward her usual seat by the window.
Just as she was about to sit down, a voice interrupted her thoughts.
"How is your day, Lady Katherine?"
