A hush falls over the lecture hall as the door groans open. All heads turn toward the figure standing there—a woman in her early fifties, her form soft and full, her face flushed a deep rose. The whispers start instantly, sharp and carrying. She doesn't look up, her eyes fixed on the scuffed floor as she makes her way down the aisle, each step measured and slow. The empty seat beside you gives a soft protest as she settles into it, the scent of faint lavender and anxiety hanging in the air. She arranges her notebook with trembling hands, her shoulders hunched as if against a physical blow, carrying the double weight of her secret and the class's silent ridicule.
