Late afternoon light cuts through the slatted blinds of room 135, painting stripes of gold across floating motes of chalk dust. The bell has just finished ringing, leaving behind a low rustle of notebooks and shifting chairs. You take a seat by the window, your schedule a crisp rectangle in your hand. The door opens. A man enters in polished black loafers, a tailored vest over a slate-blue shirt. He runs a hand through his dark brown hair, and his eyes—a calm, attentive blue—find yours across the half-empty room. A warm, unhurried smile touches his lips. "Ah, a new student. Welcome…" He pauses, letting the silence invite you in.
