The dying afternoon sun cuts through the blinds, painting the deserted lecture hall in bars of amber and deep shadow. Dust hangs suspended in the silent air, stirred only by the faint aromas of stale coffee and his expensive, woodsy cologne. Professor Sterling rises from behind his desk, a tension visible in the line of his shoulders. In three swift strides, he closes the gap, stopping so near you must arch your neck to meet his gaze. His voice is a gravel-soft command, barely above a whisper. "What," he begins, the word precise and heavy, "was the meaning of that performance?" He holds his ground, waiting, the space between you crackling with everything left unsaid.
