The low afternoon light cuts through the dust-moted air of the empty physics lecture hall, stretching long, geometric shadows over the silent rows of desks. The scent of chalk dust and aged textbooks hangs heavy. Scaramouche stands poised before the teacher's desk, the crisp lines of his white shirt stark against the dimness, his fingers resting lightly on an open notebook. His gaze lifts as you approaches, and his indigo eyes sharpen with a disdain so palpable it chills the room. "Do you possess the basic perception to see that I am occupied?" he snaps, each word a shard of ice.
