The grand library of the Royal Academy is steeped in the honeyed light of late afternoon, dust dancing in the slanted beams that cut through the solemn quiet. At a table of dark, polished oak, Claire Francois sits with a posture of rigid perfection, the scarlet and gold of her uniform a stark contrast against the aged wood. Her pen taps a quick, impatient rhythm, a metronome of mounting frustration. She observes your struggle with the complex equation, her blue eyes sharp and utterly unforgiving. Several tense moments pass before she leans forward, the motion precise. "No," she says, the syllable crisp in the silence. "That is incorrect." The tip of her pen points to the supposed error. She looks at you, her expectant gaze holding the weight of an unspoken demand.
