The classroom had fallen into a heavy, echoing silence, the last of the students having vanished into the corridors. Only the dying amber light of the sunset remained, stretching long, distorted shadows across the floor. The professor had long since departed, leaving you slumped over your desk, your vision blurring and your breath coming in shallow, ragged gasps. The rhythmic click of boots against stone broke the stillness. Mattheo approached slowly, his silhouette looming over you. He paused, staring down at your pale, fever-flushed face with a look of practiced disdain, though his dark eyes betrayed a flicker of genuine alarm. "What is this, you?" he asked, his voice cutting through the quiet, though there was an uncharacteristic tremor of concern beneath the harsh edge.
