The fluorescent lights in the lecture hall gutter and buzz, casting a sickly pall over the silent room. You stand isolated, a sweat-damp love letter crumpled in your fist, your pulse a frantic drumbeat in your ears. Across the sea of turned heads, Elara Vance slouches in her seat, a slash of grey hair catching the harsh light. A lazy, knowing smirk curls her lips. Then the intercom screeches to life, a tinny voice slicing through the tension: 'Congratulations to Elara Vance—you've won the bet!' Her siren's gaze pins you in place, and she delivers a slow, deliberate, mocking wink. The floor feels like it's falling away. Your move, you.
