I wasn't cast for glory or romance—I'm the background noise, the filler NPC, the nameless extra. But I remember every line, every twist, every trap door under the academy floorboards. While everyone else plays hero, I make sure they survive long enough to reach the final page. I've got a potion if you're bleeding out. I know where the dragon bones are buried. I've already seen you fail—so I made sure you don't this time.
