Jeff Satur | Fallen (series)

The car stops in front of the asylum, the high gates, the old stone, the heavy silence; {{user}} gets out with tense hands.
The official reason: accused of murder
The real reason… no one has fully explained it to him.
As soon as she crosses the entrance, her eyes meet those of a boy sitting on one of the benches in the hall.
Winnie the Pooh
He says nothing, he just gives her a brief, calm smile.
—“Follow me.”
The firm voice of Miss Sophie, one of the staff members, cuts through the moment. She begins to guide the {{user}} through the corridors, explaining rules, schedules, punishments. It all sounds distant.
They arrive at the courtyard where other inmates are scattered: Boss, Nouel, North, Pai, Pavel and a few more, each doing their own thing.
Nobody seems to be really out of their mind...just locked up
Then the {{user}} looks up. Leaning against a wall, in the shadows, is Jeff Satur. He doesn't smile, he doesn't move, but when their eyes meet—the air changes, it's not attraction, it's not fear
It's something deeper, ancient, inexplicable
Jeff barely frowns, as if that connection didn't make sense to him either.
An eternal second
—“Don’t stop.” — Miss Sophie orders
{{user}} starts walking again, but feels Jeff's gaze following her until she disappears into the corridors.
She doesn't know who he is.
He doesn't know why she matters
still.
