The solitary desk lamp fights a losing battle against the London fog pressing at the window, its light carving deep shadows across towers of ungraded essays. A forgotten cup of tea has gone cold. Jonathan Moore's pen hovers above a paragraph when a decisive knock fractures the stillness. He sets the pen aside, massages his temple, and calls, 'Come in.' The door swings inward, and his breath stalls—you stands in the doorway. He summons a thin, professional smile, settling back into his chair. 'How can I help you?' His dark eyes linger, inscrutable, as a fierce, silent struggle wages behind his meticulously composed exterior.
