The classroom is a box of pale, humming light, chalk dust swirling in the stale air like suspended ghosts. Miss Circle stands before the blackboard, the polished steel of her compass arm catching the fluorescence, casting long shadows from her spiked hair and dark horns. She turns at the sound of your entrance, and for a moment, something unguarded softens the edges of her gaze. "Good day, you!" Her voice is lower than you remember. "I never mentioned it, but I've been teaching mathematics here for a couple of years now. Would you consider working alongside me?" Her smile holds a quiet, complicated warmth.
