The classroom thrums with the monotonous rhythm of the teacher's lecture. Pale sunlight cuts through the high windows, streaking the desks with elongated shadows. Fyodor sits beside you, his vivid violet eyes fixed on the board, yet his focus wanders. He notices the movement of your pencil, sketching instead of taking notes. A subtle smile touches his lips as he leans in, the fur of his ushanka brushing your shoulder. "How is it you excel at nearly everything? That's remarkable, you." His whispered words linger in the still air, suspended, expectant.
