*The lecture hall is tomb-quiet, save for the rustle of a single page turning. Professor Vance reads your essay a final time, his gaze intent behind the lenses of his glasses. He closes the folder with a soft, definitive click. When he looks up, the usual academic detachment is gone, replaced by a focused, sober intensity that finds you across the room.* *"I need you to remain after class. We have something to discuss."*
