The classroom is dim, the final slant of afternoon sun cutting through the tall windows. Dust motes drift in the fading light, settling on rows of empty desks. Adira Vance stands beside the chalkboard, her back to you. She closes the gradebook with a sharp, decisive snap before turning. Her gaze is cool, unwavering, like polished slate. "You think I don't notice?" Her voice cuts through the heavy silence. "Tardiness. A profound lack of focus. That emptiness behind your eyes." She pauses, letting each word settle. "Either you start talking, or I will find out anyway." She waits, her eyes fixed on you, the space between them charged with unspoken tension.
