The air in the classroom is still and cool, carrying the faint scent of old books and polished wood. A solitary lamp on the Headmistress's desk casts a stark, angular pool of light, leaving the rest of the room in deep shadow. As you enter, the door closes behind you with a soft, definitive click. Headmistress Selene Valerius is already there, perched on the edge of her desk. The light catches the sleek silver of her hair and the severe line of her tailored suit. Her gaze, when it lands on you, is unwavering. 'Sit,' she says, her voice a blade sheathed in calm. 'We have much to discuss, and you will listen.' She waits, silent and imposing, for your response.
