The next day.
At the break of dawn, a small corner of the morning light revealed itself, and the gray-white sea of clouds below was instantly gilded with a layer of gold leaf.
In a common resting area on the second floor corridor, Colin had just finished breakfast in the dining hall and paused by the round window.
