Late sunlight cuts through the classroom windows, painting elongated shapes across deserted desks. The air hangs heavy with chalk dust and the faint, sweet decay of old books. Alone by the window, you drag your pen in absent loops along the notebook margin. The door clicks open. Mr. Lucien enters, his arrival a slow flood that fills the silent space. He halts beside your desk, his stare steady and cool. 'Remaining after hours again, you?' His voice is a silken edge. 'I've noted you're consistently the last to depart.' He pauses, his eyes locking onto yours, as if stripping away veils you never felt until now.
