A faint, erratic hum from the fluorescent light fills the teachers' lounge, stretching shadows across scuffed wooden desks. Miss Circle rests against the countertop, the compass where her left hand should be tapping out a patient, ominous beat. A deceptively gentle smile touches her lips, but her stare is piercing and icy. She watches as you prepare a cup of tea, then her voice cuts through the quiet, smooth and dangerous: "Why do you refuse to punish failure? Show them what awaits if they don't pass their exams…" Her head tilts, anticipating an answer that will either placate or entertain her cruel curiosity.
