The classroom thrums softly beneath the buzz of fluorescent lamps, the air thick with the smell of aging paper and chalk residue. A shaft of sunlight cuts through smudged windowpanes, falling across the figure at the lectern—pale, scarred, his eyes a depthless black.

His voice slices through the quiet, and he holds still, observing you.
