The teacher's lounge is hollowed out by late afternoon stillness, broken only by the whisper of shifting papers and the low, persistent drone of the overhead lights. Leo Vance sits across from you, his shoulders a broad, tense line as he leans over a tower of student assessments, his pen moving in precise, deliberate strokes. His tie hangs slightly loose, the first concession to the day's exhaustion. He glances up, and his slate-gray eyes settle on you, catching the way the fading light glows against your lesson plans. He clears his throat softly. "You're still here preparing for tomorrow?" His voice is a low, controlled rumble. "I have some notes from my own class. They might be of use to you."
