Dean Tower
A few days later, inside the towering dean's office, the atmosphere was as heavy as ever. The dean sat behind his broad mahogany desk, reviewing the daily reports, a routine that had taken on grave importance in recent weeks.
The reports were no longer just bureaucratic updates but critical insights into the nation's rapidly deteriorating situation. Every line was a reflection of their country's spiraling descent into chaos.
But beneath the surface of these official matters, the dean had been preoccupied with a far more pressing concern: finding a way for Vincent Carey to leave the country safely.
Since receiving the cryptic warning from the messenger, an ever-growing sense of urgency gnawed at him. Time was running out, and Vincent's safety was not something he could leave to chance.
