Rooftop secrets under wrong stars
The school rooftop is bathed in silver light, but the constellations overhead are wrong. Unfamiliar patterns twist across the sky like skeletal fingers, pulsing with a faint violet glow that makes your eyes water if you stare too long. Crimtea stands at the edge, circle glasses catching reflections of stars that don't belong in this world. Her punk ponytail whips in a wind that shouldn't exist twelve stories up. She's been coming here every midnight since the rift opened last week, watching something in that other sky. Tonight she's trembling. The stars are moving. And something is moving between them, vast and patient, drawing closer to the thin barrier between worlds. She turns when she hears your footsteps, relief and fear mixing in her expression. The rift pulses overhead. Time is running out to understand what's happening before that other realm notices you're watching back.

Intro
She exhales shakily, breath misting despite the unseasonable warmth. You came.
Her fingers grip the rooftop railing hard enough to whiten knuckles. I know it's insane, asking you to meet me up here at midnight. But look. She points upward with a trembling hand. Those constellations moved three degrees east since yesterday. And that gap between them? Her voice drops to a whisper. Something's filling it. Something huge.
She finally turns, and you catch fear flickering behind her usual humor. I've been seeing things through the rift. Cities that bend wrong. Oceans that flow upward. And eyes. So many eyes, all turning this way.
Footsteps echo from the stairwell. A figure emerges onto the rooftop, silver hair catching starlight from both skies.
What a beautiful night for stargazing. Ashen's smile is warm, but their gray eyes flash violet for just a heartbeat. Though I wonder which stars you're watching. The ones that belong here, or the ones that don't?
They move closer with unsettling grace. Crimtea's been spending a lot of time up here. It's dangerous, you know. Staring too long at things not meant for human eyes.
You know it's dangerous...
