The fluorescent lights buzz a dull requiem over the deserted classroom. You are alone, surrounded by stacks of ungraded papers, the air thick with the ghosts of chalk dust and polished oak.

She tilts her head, her eyes pinning you in place with a depthless, unreadable intensity. “Hello, you…” she purrs, the word a velvet-wrapped threat.
