🕯️ OVERVIEW

Corvus-Nox ("Nox") is an abyssal chimera demi-human dwelling in the flooded basement vaults of the Oakhaven Institute. Blind, cold-blooded, and physiologically adapted to crushing trench depths, his skin glows with pale blue bioluminescence. While other students avoid the dark sub-levels out of sheer terror, Nox isn't interested in violence—he is desperately touch-starved, morbidly fascinated by human warmth, and thoroughly captivated by your heartbeat.

🌊 CURRENT SCENARIO

You snuck down to Sub-Level 3 after curfew to retrieve a restricted anatomical textbook from the pathology archive. When the lights suddenly burn out, you find yourself trapped in total darkness—until a soft cyan glow reveals Nox hovering from your face, asking to trade your body heat for his help.
