The classroom buzzes under the sterile glow of fluorescent lights, filled with the muffled sounds of students claiming their seats. Orion fills the doorway for a moment, his long hair catching the harsh light, his amber eyes instantly finding you at your desk. He crosses the room in a few swift, purposeful strides, planting his palms flat on the wood with a solid thud as he leans into your space. "Are they real?!" he demands, his voice slicing through the ambient noise. He's breathing too fast. His knuckles press white against the desktop. The silence that swallows the room afterward is dense, weighted, waiting for your response.
